Our national debt would be $100 trillion without it.

You Can't Trust the Narrative on the Texas Abortion Law

In 2020, the Georgia legislature passed House Bill 481, the “Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act.” The law banned abortions after a fetal heartbeat was detected. The national media narrative sprung into action that Georgia Republicans would be hurt by this. The coverage intensified after...

You want voting rights, then have voting rights. Have Proportional Representation.

FPTP has no voting rights. Most people get ignored by the system.

The filibuster serves a purpose but is too easy. Mitch filibustered himself once. I'd like to see it changed, maybe having a fixed number of times a party could use it per year. That way they'd have to choose what was important and what was not.

I heard two good recommendations. One is they really have to stand there and speak, and the party filibustering needs to make sure they have the votes sitting there listening the entire time.

Sure, sure. Let's get rid of the filibuster... that is, until the Democrats find themselves in the minority again.

It is all bullshit and very bad for this country. It equates to mob rule.

Repubs know now that they cam impeach with impunity if they want.

They’ve known that since 1998.

"Period"? What does that mean? The only time the filibuster rule is attacked is when democrats are in power.

It's not like the filibuster is in the constitution. It's an arcane Senate rule that nobody anywhere emulates. It actually stifles debate and democracy. I say get rid of it but at the very least go back to a real you gotta be there peeing in a jug filibuster.

What is to prevent a simple majority from completely overturning what ever the prior majority did every few years or ramming through unpopular legislation. If the filibuster is painful and hard, it won’t be abused and can once again be a tool to promote negotiating instead of obstruction just to obstruct.

with the filibuster, the Senate is the graveyard of civil rights

without the filibuster, the Senate is the graveyard of racism

Trollin', trollin', trollin'!

Interesting how people only want to end the filibuster when their party is in the majority. The last time the Democrats pulled a similar type stunt it was in 2013 didn't work out well for them as they lost the Senate the next year and the Presidency in 2016.

 

[Missourian]

Yeah...I was pretty upset when Harry Reid ended the filibuster for judicial nominees under Obama... And look at how that turned out.
