Okay...it doesn't use "filibuster" but it does talk about extra-majority votes which is what I meant.

Unless I'm mistaken, the only extra- or supermajority vote mentioned is for ratifying treaties. Two thirds required in that case. The filibuster rule has been changed in regard to parliamentary delaying tactics for legislation in the past.
