The GOP won this in a big way IMHO. They traded definite confirmation on 2 Judges who were marginal on both sides of the aisle... and who can still get confirmed. In exchange they get the top picks confirmed and voted on; and they will win along more than partisan lines.

At the same time, the filibuster stops getting used as a default tool.
