I’m not sure what the purpose of ‘preserving’ the filibuster is…
... if the price of it is that the Stupid Party will never use it.
I am surprised that the Taliban is painting this as an ingoble defeat, when it's a "we'll let all of your really horrible nominees through, and maybe we'll filibuster a couple of sacrificial ones" victory, where all that the Democrats can carry off the field is the "we managed to last a day before we caved" booby prize that previously belonged to the John Kerry (S-MA) presidential campaign.
It's not as if the Taliban will vote for the Stupid Party after this pretend Evil Party "betrayal" anyways.
