I have read your post 129 a number of times now.
Sorry, it has nothing to do with the Filibuster.
Thanks for the post.
Apparently, you didn’t read the post just above in #231 that connected repeal of the 17th with rendering the filibuster ineffective.
Yes, there is a strong connection when one party controls so many statehouses and the US Senators they elect, very strong connection that makes the filibuster seem inconsequential.
