but tactically they gave up nothing in exchange for a few concessions.

What are you saying, giving up Saad and Myers is "nothing"? Or insignificant from a "tactical" perspective?

Frist wants, and watned, an up or down vote on every nominee. If the constitutional option had gone through, he would have had it. Now it is certain that he won't. Not unless the two of the DEMs somehow, miraculously decide not to filibuster Myers and Saad.

I was even helpful and put this text in bold:

In short, we intend to continue to fight for up-or-down votes on each and every nominee.

Now, you obviously feel differently. That's fine. But I'm not taking your opinion over the statement from Dr. Frist's office. Again, I expect a vote on each nominee. If the Dems filibuster Saad and/or Myers, I think they get nuked.
