What if @SenSchumer calls for the parliamentarian to rule on a point of parliamentary inquiry that only 51 votes are need to invoke cloture on bills to protect the right to vote? I think that's how killing the filibuster is actually done.
Then the parliamentarian rules it requires 60 and the majority leader calls for a vote to overrule the parliamentarian. That vote can pass on 51 votes and when it does, no more filibuster.
Schumer just changed his vote to no. That gives him the right to call to reconsider. He just moved to reconsider.
The game may be afoot.
