    Why has it taken them so long to find this rare procedural rule?

    If the country wasn’t run by relics they would be using machine learning models filled with these procedures to ask a chatbot WTF to do.

      It still requires 60 votes there are 48 Democrats and 3 independents and 49 Republicans. 9 republicans have to go along. I think this is about optics, Republicans finally getting frustrated with tuberville, and the Israeli\Hamas conflict.

      It hasn’t. If there are 60 votes, they can do just about whatever they want. They really only need 51, but that would be rude and “nuclear” because of silly rules they made up for themselves.
