Interesting

So making a new rule only takes 51?

Senate actions must humiliate Democraps.

Nothing short of a Democrat annihilation will do.

Americans must be made witness to:
<><> Democrats violent hatred for Trump
<><> Democrats raging hatred for an entire class of Americans
<><> impeachment as revenge (not justice)
<><> vengeful Democrats punishing Trump voters
<><> Democrats banking their future on the chaos of impeachment
<><> the outrageous Third World MO used to structure impeachment.

Every Senate action should show Americans and the world The True Impact of Piglosi Democrats’ Impeachment Con Game.

Roughly, yes. And there is a good argument that what is being made isn't even a rule, it's simply handing one particular case, and has no effect (other than being a precedent) on subsequent cases. IOW, the "rule" isn't entered as part of the standing rules of the senate, at all.

The 2/3rds threshold attaches "... on a measure or motion to amend the Senate rules."

I was one of the few posters on FR who has never denigrated the Turtle here. Because he is better by orders of magnitude than Schumer would be as Majority Leader, or any other democrat senator for that matter.
