A filibuster can only be broken with 60 votes, the rule that powers the filibuster can be changed, or even eliminated, with 51 votes.

I heard something about the 51 Senate seats having to do with filibusters earlier tonight, but didn't give it much attention earlier. THIS is what POTUS and Q are excited about!

This is an easy one. In Federalist 10, Madison explained the best and most reliable way to defeat any sinister faction is by the republican principle of majority vote.

The faction need not even be identified. Just defeated.

Donald Trump is right: Senate Republicans should kill the filibuster - Vox

'It’s time for Trump and McConnell to end the silliness, and kill the legislative filibuster once and for all. '

'President Trump has a surprisingly sensible idea: get rid of the legislative filibuster. '

'During that news cycle, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pushed back, saying that filibuster abolition would “fundamentally change the way the Senate has worked for a very long time. '

'But the plan also meant they had to finish health care before moving on to taxes. '

'But Senate Republicans are reticent anyway. '
