Senators Near Filibuster Deal The Senate may have averted a showdown over the filibuster, with both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. John McCain saying they've reached a deal that will allow votes on some of President Obama's nominees, provided Obama replace two nominees to the National Labor Relations Board. The White House has yet to agree to the proposal. Reid had been threatening to change Senate rules to allow presidential nominees to be confirmed with a mere 51 votes, rather than the 60 needed to overcome a filibuster threat, a tactic referred to as the "nuclear option." If the two NLRB nominees are pulled, the Senate would vote on five other nominees, including Richard Cordray for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Gina McCarthy as EPA administrator.

Zimmerman Juror Drops Plans for Memoir What a difference a day makes. Less than 24 hours after literary agent Sharlene Martin announced she would be representing the juror designated as B37, the anonymous woman has scrapped her plans for a memoir about her role in the high-profile trial of George Zimmerman. She was among the six jurors that arrived at a not guilty verdict on Saturday night. Responding to widespread criticism, juror B37 wrote that the book would have been "a respectful observation of the trial from my and my husband's perspectives solely." In her statement, she acknowledged that being sequestered had shielded her "from the depth of pain that exists among the general public over every aspect of this case."
