Thought this was a good collection of info about  it -
http://goldrushcam.com/sierrasuntimes/index.php/news/mariposa-daily-news-2013/165-november/10988-heres-why-the-filibuster-rule-change-is-a-big-deal

The graphic at the bottom includes a comparison about how long appointees waited under Bush vs under Obama (spoiler: a lot less time under Bush)

Would be nice if this brought some sanity back to the repubs - I mean, they've filibustered bills that they later vote overwhelming in favor of! that's just stupid. But not sure they're done being the stupid party.
