Judicial Nominees McKeague and Griffin to Get Votes Today

According to ABC News, David McKeague and Richard Griffin, two of Bush's nominees to the 6th circuit court (as well as appeals court nominee William Pryor), will receive confirmation votes today on the Senate floor. The two were being filibustered by Michigan Democratic Senators Levin and Stabenow. As Ace of Trump points out, the wording of the announcement is rather peculiar:

As a bonus, the Senate will confirm on Thursday Michigan nominees David McKeague and Richard Griffin, nominated to the 6th Circuit in Cincinnati, said Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.

Bonus? Getting votes for nominees is a "bonus" even though they're not "extraordinary?" Apparently ABC knows perfectly well that the great Senate "compromise" was never intended to mean what the Democrats said it means and the filibusters should continue. Hey, at least they're being honest...well...candid.
