It just sounds like a way for both sides to save face. Why is everybody so hysterical here?

McCain thanks Byrd and warner DEAL: Pryor, Brown and Owen to get past cloture votes. Myers and Saad sold out by RINOS. Other nominees may be filibustered under 'extreme circumstances'.

Frist can still pull the trigger on any filibuster.

This looks like a win for us. The democrats are the only ones giving anything up. Owens and Brown go forward, the others are open, with no foreiture of our rights to change the rules when the democrats act up again.

Don't see the leadership there. Don't think this really resolves anything.

Yeah and we blinked on the rest. As predicted the GOP caves. No more money from this guy.

We know that "extraordinary circumstances" is CODE for conservative / prolife SCOTUS nominee.

They're ALL bastards. Every last dang one of them!

It sounds to me like the Democrats have caved. At "best" (for them) they can return the Senate to the status quo today, and it looks like they (and the Republicans) know the Dems would lose if and when they do that.
