As far as I know Republicans aren't going to outlaw the filibuster anyway. This is only going to effect the ability for judges to get up or down votes. Senators can still filibuster if they need to on all the things he mentioned.

I know.. Pay attention to news reports. How many ACCURATELY report that this "BAN ON FILIBUSTERS" will ONLY apply to Judicial nominees... as the threshold for votes on these is SPECIFIED IN THE CONSTITUTION at 51. Sorry, but that trumps Senate Rules.
