Filibuster Deal: The DeWine Caveat

This is important. Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) during the press conference:

Some of you who are looking at the language may wonder what some of the clauses mean. The understanding is — and we don’t think this will happen — but if an individual senator believes in the future that a filibuster is taking place under something that’s not extraordinary circumstances, we of course reserve the right to do what we could have done tomorrow which is to cast a yes vote for the constitutional option.
