No, you don’t. They blow past the filibuster (which they don’t even do any more, they “call it” with no actual filibuster every occurring) with the “nuclear option” whenever they want to. Simple majority vote.
Filibuster is not in constitution, super majority requirement is a parliamentary rule ONLY, not law… they bypass it all of the time, over 200 “exceptions” the last time I looked.
You’ve been suckered… and that’s why they do this. Most are oblivious, just how they like it
Need a strong enough majority to override a filibuster
They haven’t had that since the 70s

They WOULD do it, that’s why threatening to do it actually works.
They WON’T do it, most of them can’t even stand for an hour… let alone make any real effort.
And if they did… well, that’s okay. They don’t need 5 months “recess” a year.
