It's called the Nuclear Option. The majority calls for the parliamentarian for a change of the rules. I think it takes 50% to change the rules. The only problem is that this ticks off the long term senators as they know the next majority party can change the rules in their favor the next time.

Call it the Rule of Unintended Consequences.
