You might want to reflect on the above. That minority can be as much as 50 Senators outflanked by 50 other Senators and a VP as a tiebreaker.
You might want to reflect on all the times that causes of conservatives have been preserved because of the filibuster.
That said, as for me, I won’t lose sleep in the short term if the filibuster dies as a 200+ rule of the Senate.
But what is really needed is to see how state legislators and voters can get US Senators to pay attention. That’s why it is important to look at #129 of this thread.

I looked at it.
I have no problem with it.
It’s completely separate from this issue.
It has no bearing on the filibuster.
Goresuch is a fantastic appointee to the Supreme Court.
There’s no way in hell I’m going to let the Left pull a Judge Bork with this guy. We need him on the court for decades to come.
If you think allowing the Left to get away with that, would help strengthen the nation, you’ve gone down a path I’m not following you on.
