Wrong, the relevant RINO's have swron not to change the rules in the 109th Congress whcih effectively means that any SCOTUS nominations by President BUsh, with King John's approval of course, are subject to fillibuster. And you can dang well count on just that.
For their part, Republicans agreed not to support an attempt to strip Democrats of their right to block votes.
This is worse then I thought.
Is Frist wating for the '06 senate turnover? seems like a hell of a longshot..
It's worse, they've "agreed" that the President should consult with both Parties **before** submitting a nomination.

Would that be King John ILL?
You may be right. I just got home, and I still have yet to read or hear the entire "agreement."
...and, frankly, if you are right, this seals McCain's fate for '08...he'll never get the GOP nomination. His future is bleak.
