Janice Rogers Brown was voted down 3 times I think, before the gutless 7 ran from the Nuke Option, do you think Bush forgot that?

Tell me when Brown failed to get 51 votes. Tell me where that "agreement", which specifically ended the necessity of a 60-vote supermajority for her nomination, said, "This agreement regarding the non-filibustering of Janice Rogers Brown doesn't apply if she is nominated to the Supreme Court."

The Pubbies tried unsuccessfully to get cloture so they could have a vote on JRB. Only when the Gang of Fourteen struck their deal was she able to get a vote and get confirmed.
