I’m no authority by a long shot but I don’t believe the filibuster can be waived for one bill.

Here comes the coup.

Obama and his junta took over without a shot.

Minority rights trampled.

it doesn't eliminate the filibuster, it just prohibits the GOP from adding amendments once the filibuster is resolved. Reid's next step will be to pass a rule forcing at least one GOP member on the floor at all times.
