Of course you can. Utah's lege did it 20 years ago on wildlife laws. Nothing constitutionally or legally prevents such a law closing future action by succeeding leges. They could appeal to the courts.Not if the previous law has embedded the 2/3 requirement specifically denying any other of legislative repeal. SCOTUS would uphold it.gipper has the meat of it.
dems filibustering serve two items: (1) they play to the base, and (2) it gives them 'reason' to destroy filibuster in the when they hold the Senate and want to pass legislation without worrying about the need of a 60 vote cloture. In other words, they will use it to pass single payer with a 51 vote majority embedded with a 2/3 vote requirement on any repeal.

It would only take 51 votes to change that rule to allow a 51 vote repeal. DERP!
Which is true, and the best argument against the Nuclear Option. It assures Chaos and sure as can be that it will not make America Great Again.

Sorry. You can't stop a future legislature from removing any such supermajority requirement, unless it's in the Constitution.
SCOTUS would uphold it.
Not.
