Worse, he qualified the condition something like this: "only filibusters for ideological reasons THAT ARE UNFAIR would constitute using the nuclear option. "

Just the fact that he qualified his answer was disturbing. He did say, however, the he would vote for the nuclear option.

I get the impression that there are some unwritten side agreements to the 14 Senator agreement that we aren't aware of. We can count on the seven Democrats joining a filibuster but can we count on the seven Republicans to vote for the nuclear option? I wouldn't count on Lindsey.
