| 9. Vote To CHANGE the RULES |
|
Why doesn't Reed just schedule a vote to change the rules of the Senate?
There is nothing "magic" about the filibuter -- it exists ONLY because it is a rule of the Senate.
I think a rule could be changed by a simple majority vote.
So why doesn't Reed just have all the Democrats vote to abolish the filibuster???
