My take: The filibuster dies in 2029, at least for statehood votes. Remember the disgusting scene from The Life of Pi? The dems have fallen in and are swimming in it. Even idiots learn.
Everyone knows [why the Republicans haven't abolished the filibuster as Trump wants]. Republicans are afraid of losing the House in 2026 and the Senate and White House in 2028 after 4 tumultuous years of Trump's reign of terror. They know that if they abolish the filibuster now, then by roughly March 1, 2029, the Democrats will have admitted D.C. and maybe Puerto Rico as states, passed the "John Lewis Voting Rights Act" and "For the People Act," overhauled the Supreme Court, made abortion legal nationwide, and implemented a long laundry list of other things Republicans hate. If the GOP keeps the filibuster now, if and when Democrats get control, the Republicans can say: "Look, when we had the trifecta, we didn't abolish it. In all fairness, you shouldn't now either."
Enjoy your day.
