The offending bits:

Part II: Commitments for Future Nominations

A. Future Nominations. Signatories will exercise their responsibilities under the Advice and Consent Clause of the United States Constitution in good faith. Nominees should only be filibustered under extraordinary circumstances, and each signatory must use his or her own discretion and judgment in determining whether such circumstances exist.

B. Rules Changes. In light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement, we commit to oppose the rules changes in the 109th Congress, which we understand to be any amendment to or interpretation of the Rules of the Senate that would force a vote on a judicial nomination by means other than unanimous consent or Rule XXII.

-more-

In sum, the minority retains the right to use its "discretion" to determine "extraordinary circumstances" while the majority retains no discretionary powers whatsover as regards changing the Rules of the Senate (what the minority laughingly calls "an abuse of power").

Un-fricking-real ... We suppose it coulda been worse: Lincoln Chafee could have been involved and perhaps put the kybosh on Part A, feeble as it is.

Update

Chafee was part of this silliness. Figures.
