the rules of the senate has been floating around there. what we're hearing now is that reid is working with mcconnell to make slight changes and that they're working together, that it is a -- at least now -- a bipartisan effort to try to fast track some efforts in the senate and not make sweeping changes that we heard of originally. if the senate truly started and it has no rules, 51 is all that's necessary, but 60 is the filibuster threshold. that's the vote that you have to get to currently is 60 votes. 51 is, of course, the simple majority. and that's to get a bill to the floor, they're trying to change how to move the process forward along faster. right now there are talks between mcconnell and reid
