Sounds good. Basically just which party can hold out longer without anybody leaving lol.

How many votes were needed to maintain the filibuster at the time? 40?

They went from 2/3 to 3/5.

Guess what thread ISN'T about filibuster?

So as long as you have 33% of the currently present senators opposing you can filibuster?

It was 33%. It would now be 40% unless they switched it back to 33%, which in a members-present format would probably be a bit more fair to all.

Yes.
