You left out foreign treaties, which will now sail through the Senate.

Don't treaties require a two thirds majority affirmation of the Senate to become binding upon the U.S., or did they abolish that section of the Constitution while I wasn't looking?

Treaties have always required a super-majority vote. I believe that is directly in the Constitution - not subject to Senate rules.
