The votes aren't there to end the legislative filibuster. Unclear that'll change. So it's a weapon Schumer can't use. But it's a bold ask of McConnell to make him promise not to—risks antagonizing the new leader's base out of the gate and giving up some leverage if times change. — PolitiTweet.org

Some context: The filibuster is already a longstanding Senate rule and can't really be codified more than it is. McConnell's ask of Schumer is essentially a gentleman's agreement or promise not to nuke it. A bare majority can change this rule with a vote to set a new precedent. — PolitiTweet.org

@ddayen pretty much, though in theory it could also be cited by a Manchin or Sinema as a reason not to get to yes — PolitiTweet.org
