Commentators spilled a lot of ink this week, forecasting the end of the Senate filibuster. McConnell says the Senate doesn’t have the votes to euthanize the legislative filibuster. So why wouldn’t a Senate majority try to boost a president of their own party by ending the legislative filibuster? And if the Senate would ever eliminate the legislative filibuster, senators would likely follow the course burnished by Reid and McConnell for the Nuclear Option. Others suggest the demise of the legislative filibuster won’t come until 2025.
