Just saw Ben Nelson on Fox---he was talking about a compromise that would involve giving Bush the votes on these nominees, but the dems would retain the right to filibuster in "extroidinary" circumstances (read SCOTUS)--
but, when asked if that meant ALL of Bush's nominees that are up, he hesitated and said "we will see"---
They are just playing games, here

It means the dems will not filibuster any of these nominees after all. If the situation never gets to a loggerhead, there will be no call to clarify the rule.
Then, the dems would be free to assert that the filibuster is still available for SC nominees.
