It would have to be a veto proof majority and that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

A majority to just stop Biden in his tracks is good enough for now. (Hopefully one with a large enough edge so that Romney and other RINOS couldn’t subvert it!)

We need to win at least 5 seats in the Senate to offset the scumbags that vote with the RATS. It's just not enough to have a 2 seat majority anymore.

I don’t think a repeal of the filibuster would require presidential approval.

Not that due process was followed for repeal of the confirmation filibuster but as I recall Harry Reid declared it repealed - it did not go to the President.

I’m not sure of Senate Rules but Robert’s Rules of Order states that no rule can be suspended if the negative vote is as large as the minority the rule was intended to protect.

Reid didn’t have that.
