Blinded By The Tie
All in all, I don't see this as a long-term solution. The Dems promise not filibuster, and the Republicans promise not to detonate the nuclear option. Either side could break these promises at any time. I would assume that "extreme circumstances" means the next time a Supreme Court nomination comes up.
The real reason for the filibuster compromise: Sen. John McCain's tie blinded ideologues on both sides.
