Senate 'Compromise'

An agreement reached by 14 senators has averted a showdown tomorrow on the Senate filibuster rule. (Here's a PDF of the deal memo.) I suspect there is enough vagueness in this agreement that only postpones future judicial battles. The good news to come out this is that at least three well qualified jurists will receive up-or-down votes: Priscilla Owen, Janice Rogers Brown and William Pryor.
