on may 23, 2005, lieberman was one of fourteen senators, dubbed the gang of 14, who forged a compromise on the democrats' use of the judicial filibuster, thus avoiding the republican leadership's implementation of the so-called nuclear option. under the agreement, the democrats would exercise the power to filibuster a bush judicial nominee only in an extraordinary circumstance, and three of the filibustered bush appellate court nominees – (janice rogers brown, priscilla owen and william pryor) – would receive a vote by the full senate, which resulted in their confirmation. lieberman refused to support a filibuster against supreme court justice nominee samuel alito. alito was confirmed by the united states senate on january 31, 2006 by a vote of 58-42, becoming the court's 110th justice. lieberman voted against the alito confirmation in the final senate vote. on the john roberts nomination as the chief justice of the united states, lieberman believed that roberts did not seem to be the kind of right-wing candidate the gang of 14 feared the president would select. lieberman said he thought roberts was a decent guy. but he also said it was too early to draw further conclusions. roberts was confirmed by the united states senate on september 29, 2005, by a vote of 78–22, becoming the court's 17th chief justice. lieberman voted for the roberts confirmation.
