Did he say what "future" meant? The deal takes it off the table for this senate term.
Graham says he could vote to end the filibuster in the future.

Does it?
"Nominees should only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in determining whether such circumstances exist."
"In light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement, we commit to oppose the rules changes in the 109th Congress, which we understand to be any amendment to or interpretation of the Rules of the Senate that would force a vote on a judicial nomination by means other than unanimous consent or Rule XXII."
Seems to this layman that when the Dems start to filibuster, if the GOP members decide that it isn't an 'extraordinary circumstance', then they are no longer committed to opposing rule changes. Am I wrong?
