Deal would allow 5

CNN reported A bid to end the Senate standoff over President Bush's judicial picks would let five nominees advance to a final vote while preserving the right of a minority of senators to block two others. A draft of the deal, which CNN obtained Thursday, would allow confirmation votes on five of the seven nominees Democrats have blocked -- including Priscilla Owen, whose nomination to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals faces debate in the Senate this week. The proposal would preserve the use of the filibuster for judicial nominees, but calls for its deployment only in "extraordinary circumstances.".... Nominees William Myers, a pick for the California-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and Henry Saad, for the upper Midwest's 6th Circuit, would remain blocked. The draft agreement also calls on Bush to consult with home-state senators and members of the Senate Judiciary Committee from both parties before sending up a nominee.

They started out saying they would let two through and kill the other five, and allow them to pick one to replace them, and have gone on from there, saying they would pick three or four (and now five) to go through. This just shows they were lying when they said the 7 were outside the mainstream. They just dont like them, and they know they can't convince a majority to vote against them.
