We're talking about the laws passed as a result of change of interpretation of the rules such that the rule is not followed at all per its intention in the previous 1975 legislation which introduced it.

No we're talking about senate rules and how it's completely up to the senate to decide and implement them.

The filibuster is completely a tool of the senate and only because they made it one of their rules. Which they even been when they want to make it easier on themselves to use as a simple threat not having to actually stand and talk.
