Nope. You need 61 to break the filibuster.

We didn’t have 61 to get Roberts and Alito confirmed.

I haven't had time to digest these new rulings. I'll have to look at them in August when I have more time, but my sense is that this was indicative of a fairly hard rightward turn.

There's going to be pushback from the Left on this. They will see this as an assault even on Brown v. Board of Education, and will not be complicit even with another Roberts or Alito.
