Currently, under Senate Rule 22 it takes a three-fifths vote, or 60 senators, for cloture to shut off the potentially endless debate known as a filibuster.

But it takes a two-thirds vote, or 67 Senators, to change a Senate rule.

Is he on drugs ???

He barely had [for a short period of time in the last Senate] the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture. But, under current Senate rules, he would have needed 7 GOP to cross over to overturn the rule.

In the new Senate, he will only have 54 votes, meaning that 6 GOP would need to cross over in order to invoke cloture. And, he would need another 7 GOP to cross over to overturn the rule.

Thats 13 GOP crossing over in the new Senate - DUH !!! Ya think its gonna happen ???

Don’t make me laugh. With the RINOs, the Democrats may still be able to get their agenda through the Senate even though it will never pass the House.
