Yes, why not let Schmucky Schumer run the Senate, instead of getting rid of the two-track rule so that Schmucky would have to stand in the well of the Senate and try to talk the wall to death (subject to a 60-vote override).

The two-track rule’s implementation was the death of getting anything truly important and controversial done in the Senate.

Get rid of the rule, and don’t worry about the 2/3 vote requirement. Just simple-majority nuke it, the way Reid nuked the filibuster for some cases a few years ago. Let the Dims make fools of themselves singing Beastie Boys songs to stop Gorsuch from being confirmed. We’ll see how long that lasts. :-)

PING!
