"B. Rules Changes. In light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement, we commit to oppose the rules changes in the 109th Congress, which we understand to be any amendment to or interpretation of the Rules of the Senate that would force a vote on a judicial nomination by means other than unanimous consent or Rule XXII."

We are screwed. The 'Rats can filibuster any SCOTUS nominee and the RINO's have promised to vote against the nuclear option when this happens.

No, we haven't agreed to any such thing (sheesh, give our people *some* credit). The Dems have agreed to not overuse the filibuster. If they do, they violate the agreement and we can go right back to the nuke option.
