But can't the Republicans, if they win, end the filibuster in that case, when it no longer serves them?
Precisely. If the Rs have a Senate majority, McTurtle will blow up the filibuster faster than you can say filibuster, and pass every odious bill he can. Bet on it!
And then reinstate it as soon as their dirty work is done, so it will still be there for the Democrats to stumble over, should they win again.
Bingo.
