A Little Letdown
Well, the Senate confirmed William Pryor today. That's the third of the three nominees the filibuster deal allowed to the Senate floor for a full vote.
It was always understood that, with the Republican majority in the Senate, any Bush nominees who actually receive an up-or-down vote would be confirmed. Still, I held out a little hope that we might get some pangs of conscience at the 11th hour on at least one of them. Apparently not.
So now, back to the line of scrimage, we wait to see what the GOP half of the Gang of 14 does when Myers and Saad come up for a cloture vote.
