Yes, this is exactly what I’m saying. Democrats could have ended the filibuster with a simple majority, but they didn’t want to. They preferred allowing Republicans to win on abortion to getting rid of their procedural excuse for inaction.

My reading of the law differs from yours on this, but I believe we agree more broadly that Democrats desperately need to stop making excuses and get out of their own way.
