@jwildeboer Yes. Non-enforcement remains an option. I was speaking specifically to your assertion that they could actually repeal or replaced it. (Attempted to do this by slotting this reply under that toot.) Under the current rules, on a purely partisan basis, they cannot. They'll either need democratic votes in the senate or they'll need to nuke what remains of the filibuster.

@jwildeboer This is incorrect. The ban is not a spending bill. Because of this, a repeal or modification would be subject to the filibuster rule in the Senate. A simple majority is not enough.
