Jonah, I conceded that I could be wrong, so my math might not be conclusive. BUT, the MOU expressly signals that the filibusters will continue on Myers and Saad, and we have heard reports (as posted on Bench Memos yesterday — see and here), that there is a side-deal that would do in Kavanaugh and Haynes. I understand that some people may be denying that this is the case, but call me a skeptic — since I don’t understand why they weren’t mentioned in an MOU that went to the trouble of mentioning the other 5. Maybe it was just, ahem, an oversight.

Maybe Frist will bring all 4 to the floor, there will be no filibuster, if there is a filibuster some of the gang of 14 will break the apparent pledge not to seek a rule-change (right), they will get an up or down vote, and 1 or more will get through. I’m not holding my breath.
