27. Words matter. Notice how Thune carefully referred to "Legislative filibuster"

They are happy to nuke the filibuster on non-legislative things like confirming right-wing judges because the extra 10 votes means they would have to accept (legally) centrist judges.

But more time than not, they are trying to kill legislation than create it, so they want to keep the filibuster in place for that.

It is time to blow the Jim Crow filibuster away 100% forever.
