The fates of two of the other nominees are apparently decided: "Democratic officials said an unwritten aspect of the pact was that two nominees not named in the deal - Brett M. Kavanaugh and William J. Haynes - would not be confirmed and would be turned aside either at the committee level or on the floor. " (NY Times). With these two down, two others mentioned explicitly in the agreement likely going down, and three others already down in Bush's first term, it looks like 7 successfully blocked by filibuster, 3 allowed by an ever-so-gracious-and-humble minority party to be given votes.
