Coop, I hope you are right. And believe me, I am a very optimistic person. But this does not seem like a good move to me. Sure, the 14 Dems in that room may not filibuster. But what about all the others? All it takes is one person to call a filibuster.
Also, I know we don't have enough votes to do whatever we please in the Senate. But 55 should be a stronger number than it in reality is.
And it takes 60 votes to break a filibuster. The GOP has 55 [cough, cough], so the 7 pledged votes would end a supposed Dem filibuster. This is the "based on trust and respect" manure they were shovelling last night.
