Myers & Saad remain filibustered, other nominees remain blocked

But two other Bush appeals court nominees, William Myers and Henry Saad, were essentially “thrown overboard” by the seven Republican senators who signed the agreement.

Their nominations were filibustered last year and will continue to be, blocking confirmation.

One unwritten part of the accord, according to two Capitol Hill sources, was that Bush appeals court nominees William Haynes and Brett Kavanagh, will not get votes on the Senate floor.

1. somone needs to check facts...

As a result of Monday night's deal, Democrats retain the option to filibuster Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia or any other stalwart conservative nominee Bush sends to the Senate.

Am I wrong or are these two already Supreme Court Justices?

2. I think it's in reference to them being up up for Chief Justice

in case Renquist resigns.
