The 2013 change to a simple majority only applied to executive noms and lower-level judges. There have been two subsequent "nuclear" rules changes, one in 2017 by McConnell on SCOTUS threshold. And another lesser known change in 2019 to cut debate time on lower-level nominees — PolitiTweet.org

You can watch the 2013 rules change here, around 1:35 mark. McConnell tried to delay it with repeated parliamentary inquiries https://t.co/ztmfKvojOd — PolitiTweet.org

If that fails, Schumer would raise a point of order for a majority vote, the chair would say no, then Schumer would appeal the ruling to the full Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi says House will vote tomorrow on voting/elections reform package, then it's onto the Senate. To hit the MLK Day deadline for a debate on rules reform, Schumer will need to move to end debate by Saturday, (That would set up a Monday vote at a 60-vote threshold) — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate is finally voting on confirmation of Gabriel Sanchez to be United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit. This was originally scheduled for last Monday! — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine Gaming this out a bit, Schumer can still hit his MLK Day deadline for rules debate. He would need to file cloture to END debate by Saturday, which would ripen on Monday. — PolitiTweet.org

“To ultimately end debate and pass the voting rights legislation, we will need 10 Republicans to join us — which we know from past experience will not happen — or we will need to change the Senate rules as has been done many times before,” Schumer wrote today. @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

“The Senate will finally debate voting rights legislation, and then every senator will be faced with a choice of whether or not to pass the legislation to protect our democracy,” Schumer wrote in a memo, obtained by POLITICO, to Senate Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

News: Schumer will steer Dems around initial GOP filibuster. House will pass voting/elections package, send it to Senate as a message and Senate will take up and debate. Fight over changing filibuster will now be when Schumer moves to end debate. https://t.co/FMc4OuanM6 — PolitiTweet.org

Even when parties use reconciliation to go around the filibuster, there are huge constraints on what they can do. Immigration, guns, minimum wage, etc. are all subject to 60 votes. — PolitiTweet.org

@marianne_levine I'd be surprised if there's a rules change vote and fewer than 48 Democrats support it, but there's still several senators who haven't said on the record they'll support one — PolitiTweet.org

After Monday's comments, we heard from some progressives that Kelly already supports weakening the filibuster. He said today he's not committed to anything yet: "I don't pay attention to what progressive groups or any group is saying" https://t.co/FMc4OuanM6 @marianne_levine — PolitiTweet.org

Some want to preserve significant sway for the minority and prefer a talking filibuster. That would still allow the minority to gum up the Senate for weeks. Others prefer the carveout, which would allow a quicker majority vote but pare back minority rights too much for some. — PolitiTweet.org
Burgess Everett @burgessev
New: Democrats are oscillating between voting on a talking filibuster or a carveout for elections reform, according to a senator familiar with the discussions. “Every 24 hours it feels like the conversation has shifted” @marianne_levine https://t.co/FMc4OuanM6 — PolitiTweet.org
