Actually, the filibuster compromise didn't turn out so badly. I wasn't thrilled with it, but it was better than what had been going on before. The 'Rats will no longer use the filibuster on a routine basis because they know that the nuclear option can still be deployed.

So far, it's been all gain with little loss.

Well now the Comprimise all depends on their definition of extreme circumstances in which they can filibuster. If they follow it the way it should, it may continue on, but I wouldn't let them get away with much if I were Frist, McCain or any of the rest before Nuking the Judicial Filibuster

We have gained a three judges that were "controversial", but two judges still remain filibustered, Saad and someone else. Bush's UN nominee, Bolton, is still filibustered.

And the first USSC nomination will be filibustered instantly if he/she is pro-life.
