Thune almost certainly doesn't have the votes to amend the Senate rules this way, and Democrats don't actually want this "nuclear option" to be deployed - which is why there's not a lot of discussion about it happening.

I thought the “nuclear option” to get around the filibusters only required 51 votes. Currently, there are 53 Republican Senators.
