‘Senate Democrats Quickly Sour on Gang of 14 Agreement’

Here’s the opening of my new Confirmation Tales post:

The Senate Democrats who initially celebrated the Gang of 14 Agreement would soon realize that it did not rescue them from their fundamentally weak political position. The more they saw how the Agreement played out, the less they liked it. In particular, the Agreement impaired them from making any serious effort to block George W. Bush’s nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court in the fall of 2005.
