Not all in the Democratic Party backed the compromise. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin said “Democrats should have stood together firmly against the bullying tactics of the Republican leadership abusing their power as they control both houses of Congress and the White House.” Feingold went on to say “Confirming unacceptable judicial nominations is simply a green light for the Bush administration to send more nominees who lack the judicial temperament or record to serve in these lifetime positions.” Conservative leader James Dobson of Focus on the Family also criticized the deal. He said “We share the disappointment, outrage and sense of abandonment felt by millions of conservative Americans who helped put Republicans in power last November. I am certain that these voters will remember both Democrats and Republicans who betrayed their trust.” Under the compromise three right-wing judicial nominees are now expected to be approved: Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen, California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown and William Pryor Jr.
