but it takes 60 senators to stop a filibuster.
Not on rule changes.... it takes 2/3rds of the Senators present and voting...... or that's what is written in the current rules, assuming they apply

Add in the 24 hour notice and we will more than likely see a full chamber. With the 'present and voting' language we can be assured the DEMS will not walk-out to avoid a vote. It would be symbolic, perhaps, but useless as it would NOT stop the vote. Is this your take as well?
