Including the "rule" that says they can't.
And the Senate leader can refuse to recognize a "off the Senate floor" procedural filibuster and require Republicans to filibuster on the Senate floor.
This has been covered in great detail on DU in the recent past.
And Senator Reid's "two track" Senate debate procedure can be withdrawn whenever he pleases. Are you familiar with that procedure?
Now I've read all of the unsupported arguments in defense of Republican phantom filibusters and the Senate leaders alleged inability to stop them.
According to the numerous lame excuses in defense of Democratic inaction and weakness, the Republicans run the Senate when they are in the majority and the Republicans continue to run the Senate when they are in a minority.
If you'd like to start a new post concerning this matter that would be in order.
