No, that’s the ironic thing. The Filibuster is a Senate rule, and it only takes 50 Senators a simple majority to adopt a new rule.
Yup, you heard that right. The Filibuster can be erased with a majority vote to set a new rule. The party in power doesn’t do that, though, because they are afraid of what the other side would do if they get the majority.
Not likely, but it helps the other side far more than it helps us. It should be removed.
Should be doesn’t mean they’ll be able to. You need 60 votes to do so. We’ll be lucky to hold the Senate, let alone pick up 11+ seats.
