I'll lay money that whomever the repuke Senate leader is they vote to nuke the filibuster on J6th

[Cheezoholic]

Kneecap Dems into the dust. This is political war.

1. New congress will be sworn in 1/3, so probably the filibuster is history before the electoral count on 1/6

After electing a speaker majority leader, the first order of business is to set up the rules of the new regime.

These will be defined well in advance of that date.

8. The election of the speaker of the House has nothing to do with whether the Senate keeps the filibuster

9. Of course. Fried friggin' brain. So embarrassing. Majority leader.

[Silent Type]

2. Not throwing my money away. Might not be worth much, but McConnel says GOP will maintain filibuster.

5. McConnnell will not be Majority Leader in the new Senate. Someone aboard the MAGA train will be.

That's as much proof as anyone could need about filibuster being canned in January.

3. I'm OK with them killing the filibuster

Then there will be nothing to hide behind for the 2026 midterms, and their yes/no votes will be public record for all to see.

And then when Dems take back the senate, the filibuster will already be dead and buried.

Win/win.

6. I admire your optimism that there will be elections in 2026 and 2028.

I fully expect Trump and/or Vance to declare Martial Law or concoct some other reason to cancel/block elections.

4. Probably Going To Be Rick Scott nt

7. I'll take that bet.

How much?

10. Since they'll be the Majority party, why in the world would they do that?

It would against their best interests. And they know it.

11. Not a chance

They might troll democrats with such a vote - but there’s no need to kill the filibuster until there’s a vote that they can’t win without killing it. And that’s many months away
