The Big Deal

It seems a combination of 14 Senate Democrats and moderate Republicans have come to terms to avert a Tuesday vote on banning the filibuster on judicial nominees. As part of the deal, the "senators pledged to vote to end prolonged debate on three of President Bush's most disputed appellate court nominees: Priscilla R. Owen of Texas, Janice Rogers Brown of California and William H. Pryor of Arkansas." You can read all about it here. To be honest, I don't know how I feel about this yet.
