Lee's spokesman said the Utah senator was undecided on whether or not he will seek to filibuster the House deal. Pressed if he would require McConnell to file cloture, a procedural move that eats up days of floor time, or run out the debate clock, Paul replied: “We’ll see.”... “I would hope that they can register that opposition in different ways. Clearly, I think, if it comes over with a big vote from the House, it will have broad support here, so even if they filibuster it, in the end I don’t think that position would be a prevailing position. So the question is you know whether or not they want to use procedural tactics to slow it down or delay it,” Thune added.

“We obviously have not been able to get to where we can get legislation that would not be filibustered on the floor,” Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) told The Hill last week... “No matter which way we turn, there are some who want to expand and some who want to reform,” Crapo said. “And no matter which of those alternatives we choose, it creates the potential [to] filibuster on the floor.”
