Amy Klobuchar actually said...
There are 160 exceptions, 160 exceptions to the filibuster rule. Things have been changed to benefit my colleagues from the other side of the aisle. Somehow, it only takes 51 votes to put in place the Trump tax cuts or the Bush tax cuts. Somehow, it only took votes to put Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court of the United States, a change by them, made by them. Somehow it only takes votes to try to overturn a regulation or try to mess around with the Affordable Care Act. But then, when it comes to something like voting rights, suddenly, everyone on the other side of the aisle is hugging that filibuster tight, knowing that so many times in history, including most recently with a debt ceiling, changes have been made to allow a vote with less than 60 votes.
