I proposed that very idea weeks ago - but no one listens to me, including my wife.

Google sez:
Yes, the filibuster could be eliminated specifically for CRs (Continuing Resolutions) without being eliminated for all legislation, as the Senate has made similar exceptions before for certain types of legislation . However, eliminating it for just CRs would require a specific change in Senate rules or precedents, which is a political decision that would need to be agreed upon by a simple majority vote, according to Indivisible and Brookings

You’ve got it.... Thank you.

So it’s unprecedented but can be done then if the will is there.
