Huh? There are no NY judges in the batch that was the subject of the deal last night.

do we know the whole deal?

Dems gave unanimous consent to fast-track these seven judicial nominees yesterday: https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1034519956715720705 … And also agreed to process these eight add'l nominees on an expedited basis when they return next week:https://twitter.com/SenateCloakroom/status/1034523390445584384 …

Also, three of the judges from blue states on the Senate cloakroom list you supply are pretty clearly Dem picks. See, e.g., CT and MN names.

Yes, Klobuchar tweeted out her enthusiasm about getting Brasel through last night, and has been urging a consent agreement like this since earlier this summer. That doesn't change it was an awful, lopsided deal that will now open up floor time for far more heinous picks.

Fine. People can debate how lopsided it was. I am just pushing back against the notion that these are all "Trump" judges when in fact some of them are solid Dems
