Obviously, Reid has said he won’t try to change the filibuster rule. The consensus in this thread seems to be that without the filibuster, senators would lose individual power. But they would still have considerable individual power with a 55 vote filibuster rule.

Reid doesn’t have the votes to do that anyway. They are planning something though with the HR summit. I guess hoping to get Dem congressmen back on board because they cant pass either bill now.
