No. No it doesn't. The filibuster can be changed with a simple majority. If changing the filibuster required a filibuster proof majority then they wouldn't need to change the filibuster. The Senate has never had 2/3 control in favor of a single party. It's a rules change, not legislation.
Just google what it takes to alter the filibuster... I know it seems strange that we use to have a congress that could vote 2/3 on anything bi-partisan... But lefties were at one time not so insane.. And even if it took a simple majority, most Dems know it would screw them too hard to do away with it and all of congress knows a simple majority rule would have us at civil war in no time..
What rock have you been under? You think Harry Reed needed 67 votes when he changed the filibuster to push through judicial nominees for Obama? That McConnell had 67 votes to do the same for SCOTUS picks?
8I have been reading more into it... You are right but the simple majority seems to apply for now to only appointing judges, positions and budget... Depending on who you ask the filibuster goes away with a simple majority or still takes 2/3 for legislation... Either way lefties seem not to be confident, two dem senator's plus pudding for brain's biden seem to love the filibuster... Sorry if I was wrong but still cannot 100% say what changes filibuster or if it will change... My far left state that only requires simple majorities still would not vote for any gun control bills in its lasts legislative session that were bans or extreme things... After almost 20 years of stressing over guns I am starting to think the dems and rinos want things just as they are just to have something to campaign over...
Yes the filibuster has been changed before in the past to a 67 vote down to a 60 vote... Took 2/3 votes to do that then and 2/3 to dissolve it..
