If the filibuster is ended the GOP has vowed to grind the Senate to a halt, no business will ever will get done. I doubt Reid will actually do it because if he does, the GOP will do it they retake the Senate some day which will happen.
You must have more faith in those GOP vows than I do.
I like your optimism, but really I see no indication that the Repubs are going to take anything back in this lifetime.
They have gone WAY stupid.
