anything biden wanted to do would have required significant support from republicants in the senate. 60 votes for cloture, i.e. avoid or end a filibuster and bring the matter to a vote. at least for now it's still 60--and 60 is not needed to revise or eliminate that. i suspect they'll "need" to do just that in order to ram the really bad shit through congress.
