Right. Look guys, this is what we wanted. IF Frist gets votes on all seven nominees--whether they are approved or not--then we win without going nuclear.

True but will it happen this year? From the sounds of Reid this morning, the others will be placed on the back burner until more pressing matters are addressed.

But the agreement only covers the three, the dems are free to find the others "exceptionalaly" right wing. And then we are free to nuke 'em

The agreement, if it stands, means Saad and Myers will not get a vote.

They are specifically excluded from the non-filibuster agreement.

The Dems will filibuster them and it will not violate the agreement. Therefore it will not trigger the "nuclear" option ... and if it does, the RINO seven will vote against the nuclear option.
