You are correct. My point was that I believe the Senate can change its rules by majority vote at any time.

It can of course. However, for as long as anyone can remember senate rule changes required 2/3 vote. As soon as that changes, the senate as we know it ceases to exist. It simply becomes another majoritarian body like the house.
