It will go, when the majority party in the Senate at the beginning of a Senate session decides that it is time that it goes. That may require more imagination than most politicians have, but in any event, it serves as a check on the filibuster, because if the party in the minority pushes that execrable procedural rule too far, they are subject to castration. And that is good - yes good!
