Yeah, I know.

They already have a 60 vote filibuster proof majority.

“They already have a 60 vote filibuster proof majority.”

Even if the Dem's pick up the two pending senate seats in Minnesota and Georgia, I think having a filibuster proof majority will be issue dependent. As an example, there are some RINOS in the Republican party that will probably align themselves with the Dem's on environmental legislation. There are Blue Dog Dem's that will probably align themselves with Republicans on any upcoming anti-gun legislation. So, it remains to be seen whether or not Pelosi and Reed will be able to jam through whatever legislation they desire at will.
