The filibuster increases the power and influence of every member of the Senate. Anything that degrades the filibuster degrades their personal power as a senator. DC politicians like to keep their power, so it will stay, just like the "blue slip" on district judges has stayed in spite of Trump's pressure otherwise.
ok, but does that calculus apply even to merely requiring a standing filibuster on an issue that forever affects the viability of the Republican party?
