The analysis you linked to is weak. The nuclear option is OFF the table for the 109th Congress. The republican deal makers have sworn not to vote for it, period. The democrats have only agreed not to fillibuster unless the circumstances are extrodinary. Guess who gets to decide extraordinary?
You nailed it (as much as I wish it weren't so)!
