We shall see if they hold true to their word and not vote to end the filibuster rule. If they hold the line then this bill shouldn't even come up before a committee.Schumer will pressure Manchin and Sinema to nuke the filibuster but predict that will be a no-go, with Manchin in particular. The House got the bill through so reps could go on the break back to their districts and use it as vote stumping fodder. You would think that the Republican senators would know by now there is no placating or appeasing the Democrats. None of this bill would pass SCOTUS review. It would be declared unconstitutional in its entirety. Welcome to Kabuki Theater.

Also, I believe Shumer has said before that he will not bring it up for consideration if there isn't a chance that it will get past a filibuster but we all know that the forked tonged snake cannot be trusted. Hell we don't even know if the GOP can be trusted anymore but I do think it will be a difficult task to get 10 GOP Senators to cross over on this one as is.
