you may be confused

the filibuster rule specifies it takes 60 votes for closure of a filibuster

it only takes a majority to change a senate rule

therefore, if the majority want to change the closure rule from 60 to 51, they can go right ahead and do it...

now where are your concerns when the democrats have already banned filibusters on certain senate business in the past?
