Basically they agreed not to force the "nuclear" or "constitutional" option. As flawed as the filibuster rule has become, it is better to have it than not. The problem was not so much the rule as it's misuse - if I understand it right, it will not be misused any more for judicial candidates. While I understand those who say we are in the majority and should flex our muscles, there will be a day when we are weaker. In the long run this is a win.

And that day would be...
