As far as that affecting the filibuster vote, I fail to see a connection. Disarray? They said if they didn't get their way they would eliminate the filibuster that is what they did with every repub voting for it. That is not really disarray. We can go on and on about who is responsible and who to blame but it is all moot now, the filibuster is dead.
