This just in from Sen. Lott's office, by way of United Press International:

Susan Irby, Lott's communications director, issued a statement saying there was in fact no deal and that Lott remained committed to having an up-or-down vote on all the pending judicial nominees.

Sen. Lott is to be praised for trying to seek common ground with the other party. Personally, I think a compromise would be terrific. The columnist David Boder has made reasonable efforts to propose a compromise, as has Sen. Frist. It's unfortunate that they have not gotten anywhere.
