When folks talk about ending the filibuster, is that for one bill and one bill only or does that affect all bills for that congressional session?

In other words if Bill A is up for debate and the filibuster is ended/canceled, when Bill B comes up later that week...does it have the filibuster in place or is it gone based on precedent of Bill A being canceled. Does it matter if the 2 bills are related?

Cloture is the process by which you override filibuster for one bill

The filibuster is a moot point after the senate is dissolved

I advocate ending this ridiculous hoax, yes it would end it for everyone. As mentioned before, if they would drop their lazy maneuver called ‘cloture’ they could debate bill by bill, it’s more of a bill by bill trick.

Talk about ending the filibuster means changing the rules to require only a majority vote to pass a bill (ie nuking the filibuster).

That would be a procedural change moving forward indefinitely.
