Two Years in Arrears

Judge Janice Rogers Brown confirmed by the Senate:

The Senate voted 56-43 to confirm Brown to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and 67-32 to end the filibuster of Pryor's nomination to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals - the last of the three nominees Democrats agreed to clear in exchange for Republicans not banning judicial filibusters.

Of course, if you remember your new Senate math, this means that Judge Pryor's Cloture vote would've gone through even without the munificence of the 7 Democrat dealmakers, putting a little extra sting into the inequity of that lamentable compromise.
