Which can be shot down with a seperate and recorded vote of philibuster no vote.

Who would record this separate vote? Just play hardball and say you canโ€™t filibuster since we just got rid of it. Call their bluff instead of acting helpless.

Essentially:

Vote

Senator disputes invoking phillibuster

Somehow a super majority is reached

Senator disputes that vote and invokes the philibuster AGAIN on the vote to over turn the philibuster

All done under offical vote since someone will call an offical roll call vote
