    The filibuster isn’t a law or Constitutional requirement. It’s a self imposed rule they could have removed at any time. In fact the Constitution only requires a simple majority for anything it doesn’t specifically mention needing a larger number.

        Then kick them out of the party. Make the actual position clear. Don’t tell us you have the votes and you just don’t want to because voters will take you at your word.
