If the Dems filibuster the next judge outside the agreement, the RINOs are given cover in their next election as having themselves been betrayed.

In other words, this can be a huge victory in not just numbers but PR too, but Frist has to play it right.

Yep!

If the Dems filibuster the next judge outside the agreement,

Only 7 Democrats agreed not to filibuster, and only if extraordinary circumstances in their opinion do not exist

Frist has 48 votes. Which Democrats do you think are going to vote to change the Senate rules when the next filibuster occurs ?
