    Yes, but they cut a deal with the Republicans, who were stalling them with procedural maneuvers that were forcing them to stay late at night, and of course, it’s a bad deal. They got seven district court judges approved in exchange for abandoning the appointment of 4 appeals court judges. Appeals court judges are much more powerful, so this wasn’t a great move, but now they don’t have to stay up past their bedtimes, and they might even get to go on Christmas vacation early.
