“Schumer could also use pixie dust to get Manchin and Sinema on board.”

If I understand this correctly, this is not to end the filibuster. This is to enact the “voting rights” cheat. As Dems, I fear Manchin and Sinema would sign on to that.

They need to suspend or carve out the filibuster to pass it, both said they won't do that to pass it even though they may support the bill.

With all their scheming, in the Senate the “amended” bill is still subject to cloture, a 60 vote threshold.
