This Cruz thing has already been shot down. Old news.

It’s just ignoring the Parliamentarian and pretending you aren’t killing the filibuster.

Hardcore conservatives in the Senate will not support gutting the filibuster, which this does, nor should they as conservatives. So this story ended yesterday or the day before.

No, it is not.

A filibuster is dependent upon the floor being open. The maneuver blocks the filibuster on a point of order: The floor would not be open.
