7 RATS made a deal not to filibuster unless there are extraordinary circumstances, each Senator to determine what is extraordinary. Byrd, Landrieu and Ben Nelson, at least, won't filibuster. I don't know about Prior, Lieberman, Salazar and Inouye although I suspect Inouye won't.

Yes, what about the gang of 14? Don't they stop the filibuster attempt dead in the tracks? This is certainly not an "unusual circumstance" in any stretch of the word and they all know it.
