They will filibuster the “strike amendment”.

It’s just not complicated...

Everyone’s going for the cheap joke is confusing the issue- to the Dems’ benefit.

As I understand it, the “strike amendment” would come after cloture and would require only a majority.

Their avenues would be to prevent cloture and thus prevent a strike amendment, get a unanimous consent that any strike amendment would be subject to filibuster, or fill the amendment tree so no strike amendment could be added.
