On the bright side, after the 2024 election both Manchin and Sinema will be gone. Manchin replaced by a real Republican, Sinema replaced by a real Democrat. And with, in my opinion, the likelihood that the House MAGA Majority so pisses off the country with shutdowns and phony impeachments, Cruz is gone and with him one or two more obstructionist Republicans.

And then the filibuster can be eliminated or more likely, reformed. My opinion - bring back the talking filibuster. Let the obstructionist hold the floor for as long as he or she can. Then when he/she drops from exhaustion, proceed to the vote. And with this caveat - catheters and Depends are not permitted as a way to extend the time on the floor.
