The CR can't past the Byrd Test, needed to meet the Byrd Rule. The provisions in the CR are not strictly budgetary and thus the CR can't meet the standard used to lower the vote from 60 to 51 to pass.

No they don't, they could end the filibuster rule.
Any party could have. But they all see the wisdom of avoiding the nuclear option.

Your 8th grade Civics teacher failed you miserably and owes you an apology for allowing you to make a complete arse of yourself here.

How quaint.

I would be willing to bet that if you asked people under age 30 “didn’t you take Civics in high school”, most would reply “Civics, what’s that”?
