Can he get away with that or does he need 60 votes to make it happen? Wouldn’t that work both ways if they lose the Senate?

I have no idea. I assume that it could be done similar to what the Reps were talking about as the "nuclear option" when Bush couldn't get his judicial nominees an up or down vote. Instead McCain and Lieberman organized the Gang of 14.

I assume the Dems would do it in the lame duck session so the 41 Rep votes could not stop the Dem agenda. And you know if the Dems become the minority, they will push to change the rules again and the Reps will be stupid enough to do it. The Dems play hard ball when it comes to exercising power.
