7 RINOs have vowed not to vote for rules change if Owens / Brown / Pryor come to the floor for a vote...

What if the rest of the Republicans banded together in support of the filibuster? Wouldn't that negate that "clause" and create a situation to trigger the contitutional option vote?

It would. But it would be a totally unprincipled vote. Yea on cloture means the nominee desreves a vote.
