Pryor is now obstaining now.. which is about as close as a no vote as you can get.. No biggy though, we will have the votes.

In the context of cloture, it IS a no vote. Filibuster is the name given to "let's not vote." If he is against filibuster, as the agreement says, then he must affirmatively say "let's vote." Silence is the same as "let's not vote."

Are you sure? I've heard the rumor but have been unable to confirm.
