The point is if this bill contains a rules change it would require a two/thirds vote to pass it. They don’t have a two thirds majority.

Understood. But the way the bill is written, it will take a two-thrids majority to repeal it. They will pass it calling it a procedural change (60 votes to invoke cloture) and when anyone tries to repeal it, they will call it a rule change requiring two thirds vote.

So what’s next for Reid and the Dems? Can they remove this section? Do they even care to?
