MorOn.Org Stopped the Nuclear Option

MoveOn.Org is claiming victory in the judicial showdown in the Senate. Here's excerpts of the email I received from the group today:

"President Bush, Bill Frist and the radical right-wing of the Republican Party have failed in their attempt to seize absolute power over the courts. Together, we've stopped the "nuclear option" — for now."

"Last night's resolution was a real victory, but it came at a heavy price. Three of the nominees the Democrats agreed not to filibuster, Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen, and William Pryor, will now head to confirmation votes in the Senate where they may well be approved. Their record of corporate bias and outright hostility to the basic rights of ordinary Americans poses a serious threat that we will have to contend with for years to come."

Remember this last section about these 3 nominees. I suspect that in the coming months, other nominees, even a Supreme Court nominee, will be threatened with the filibuster. When this happened, the left will have to make an excuse for why they are filibustering the new nominees when they let these 3 through. I'm thinking that at that future point in time, these 3 will be less extreme than the new nominees.
