The only reason Grand Kleagle Robert "Sheets" Byrd can recount the minutiae of the Tyler administration with such clarity is because that was the last time he had a moment of lucidity.

So the deal is signing an agreement pledging “mutual trust and confidence.” God Almighty!

This is from Drudge:

The agreement said future nominees to the appeals court and Supreme Court should "only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances," with each Democrat senator holding the discretion to decide when those conditions had been met.

"In light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement," Republicans said they would oppose any attempt to make changes in the application of filibuster rules.

So we're back where we were before.
