They can can rightly say that the nominees should not have been filibustered because the circumstances were not extraordinary. Thus, the GOPers would be released from their commitment to vote against the nuclear option.
That reading is more plausible to me than the alternative reading that Graham and DeWine were majorly duped. Now it is up to them to hold the Democrats feet to the fire. Are they up to it? Graham surely is, and DeWine is mouthing the right words. That makes 48 GOP non-signers + 2 who will hold Dems to the agreement = 50. In theory, it looks good.
I don't know about you, but I'm not taking kindly to the fate of the judiciary resting on the cojones of Senator Graham.
what i want to know is what (if any) side deal has been cut. That will tell me all I need to know about this crowd
