If, as suggested in this Washington Post story, the filibuster deal means no filibuster for the President's Supreme Court nominees, then every conservative critic of the deal owes seven Republican senators a big apology.
The article says:
"The pact, signed by seven Democrats and seven Republicans, says a judicial nominee will be filibustered only under 'extraordinary circumstances.' Key members of the group said yesterday that a nominee's philosophical views cannot amount to 'extraordinary circumstances' and that therefore a filibuster can be justified only on questions of personal ethics or character."
