It really doesn't matter what babs has to say. If any of the gang of 14 said it then it would be of import but as long as the 7 dimocrats support cloture there cannot be a fillibuster.
Are there any other DINOs that were not part of the Gang of 14?
What happens if the vote is, say, 59-35 with 6 not voting? That is over 60%, can the filibuster be stopped on that?
