Budget reconciliation bills can deal with spending, revenue, and the federal debt limit, and the Senate can pass one bill per year affecting each subject.

That’s the only way around the filibuster.

This bill doesn’t fit any of those and the parliamentarian has already ruled on other non-budget bills.

They’d need a supermajority in the senate if they make substantive changes.

It won’t work.

The title of the article notes that they *do* have the votes to overcome the filibuster.
