That or something else.
I don't have a problem with it. The so-called filibuster of 60 vote rule is institutional dysfunction, and should be squashed. It's a minority veto, not good.
McConnell just asked that the failed cloture vote 55/45, be reconsidered, and asked for yeas and nays. So, the vote going on now is whether or not to undertake a repeat of the last vote.
I agree with you.
The filibuster has produced the opposite of what it claims is its purpose. The stated purpose is to allow debate, thought, and the crafting of legislation much better for having gone through that process.
In reality, it is the exact opposite. It is a way to shut off discussion, statesmanship, compromise, and cooperation.
It’s simply a weapon to obstruct. There might have been a day when that was not so, but I don’t recall a time when it was other than a weapon of obstruction.
It must be placed in the back file someplace for a different day, if it is ever resurrected. There are things that must be done, and it appears that the simple majority rule will more likely lead to the eventual negotiation between our warring branches of the congress.
