Chuck Schumer is not stupid. Do you honestly think the Democrats would eliminate the filibuster knowing full well that it will come back to bite them the next time they are in the minority?
...Yes? Pretty obvious they’re also betting on long-term Senate control with DC/PR.
They could very easily just change the Senate rules to remove filibusters on an issue by issue basis (e.g. for statehood votes), technically leaving it intact but effectively neutering it.
^This is pretty much what’s going to happen.
Lol Manchin won’t go for it.
The filibuster as it is now is safe, trust me.
