They unveiled legislation Monday to overturn December regulations through a process that permits Congress to revoke recently-issued rules in a manner that is immune to filibusters by Senate Democrats Alright, I'm confused. There's a way the majority republicants can take charge of the Senate that is immune to minority democrat filibustering?
Did the republicants just have a bite of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of political tactics and strategy?
Another miracle.

Back in the 90’s, the congress passed legislation calling for congressional review of new regulations - if the review was requested, a simple majority vote could overturn the regulation. After it was passed and signed, it may not have ever actually been used, but it's still there, and can still be used. The republicans just need to call for a 60-day review of the regulations implemented in December, then when they fail to get the review, or get it but disagree, they vote to overturn it.
