IIRC the filibuster was effectively overturned by a procedural change this session. Bringing it back is so on-brand that your bit is still a good one.

I haven't been following the filibuster stuff at all but I think the GOP kept it but created a carve out or two. I have no idea what the actual term for "carve out" is.

'created an exception'?

There must be a fancy term. This is congress after all.

Ninja edit. Despite knowing that google would only annoy me - I spent a few minutes googling. Some sites use the term "majoritarian exception". I don't know if that's standardized or not.

They can just make exceptions when they think it's convenient, been doing that for quite a while now
