Reply #3: ? the only threat is on Judges - and there is no free first use

[papau]

on all other Senate activity the filibuster can not be stopped for the next 2 years.

On judges they threaten a ruling from the chair - but we counter that if they do that, it will be the last piece of Senate activity that gets to a vote.

They can force the judges - but at the cost of every other piece of legislation.
