“... the democrats have rights in the Senate that nobody can take away ...”

That is simply not true.
But do the republicans have the fortitude to shut them down?

- The answer is no. They would have to rewrite the rule book and they have already stated they are not going to do that. There are about 6 or so pub Senators who have gone on record and are happy as things are. So, again, with the exception of nominees, for major legislation, 60 votes will be needed. And the dems will force the republicans to follow the rules of the Senate when confirming the nominees.
