RATs didn’t get rid of the filibuster for Obamacare.
Democrats made it a point to have 60 votes - Al Franken being # 60.
Why need 60 votes for cloture if the filibuster was removed ?

“RATs didn’t get rid of the filibuster for Obamacare.”

Why doesn’t the GOP eliminate the filibuster, pass all the stuff they want to, then right before they go on holiday in 2028, pass a new filibuster rule that requires 60 or 70 votes to eliminate it next time?
