Good to have it on the record at least and to see that at least the other 48 are willing to blow it up. So we only need to gain 2 seats. Although that will be a pretty steep climb for this election, but maybe 2024.

If you know the bill is dead, then you can strategically vote 'yes'. Bump that magic number north of 55 to be more accurate.

First time? Check when I started here lol. Anyone who voted to change the rule will have to justify their new change of their heart if they later want to vote not to change the rule. They know that.

Hold on. You needed a vote to approve a rule change to vote ?

Is the Senate that convoluted ?

Yes. The vote was to overrule the chair's ruling that Schumer's proposal was not allowed by the rules.
