And FWIW, I think this is a horrible "deal" that got the good side damn little and the dark side a helluva lot. We'll be lucky to get 3 nominees confirmed at this point.

That's just ridiculous. How about backing that up with something? You'll get three in a worst-case scenario from this deal.

OK, fine. We'll get three, presumably. That's what we've been told by the new Senate Regency. Gee, do I feel warm and fuzzy now.

The others will be thrown under the bus and the President will now go to the 7 RAT members of the newly formed Senate cabal to get clearance for future nominations. (No need to ask the Pubs in the cabal, their function is only to ensure the Republican leadership remains powerless.)

So, again, just where is it that we get such wonderful things from all this? I'm all ears.
