"We got everything we want..."

Only if you don't give a rap about up or down votes on every nominee. Only if it is fine with you to let the Senate Democrats (aided by RINOs) usurp the president's constitutional prerogative to nominate candidates to the judiciary (and not from a list drawn up and approved by People for the American Way or the A.C.L.U.)

We have not given up the right to an up or down vote on any. The Dems have reserved the "right" to filibuster in the future for extraordinary reasons. As soon as they play that card it will likely be considered bad faith and the rule change will be back on the table. For now we get the vote of advise and consent.
