About the Filibuster,

I heard that Harry Reid said if the Repubs continue to abuse the filibuster, he will have the option to revisit it. That sounds like they have made a deal during the next 2 years, the rules can still change if necessary. Is this correct??

Because the deal was not reached till January 1st,

did we technically go off the cliff? Or because January 1st was a holiday, were we saved by not going off the cliff? What is correct?
