Now that the democrats are about to assume the Senate majority when it reconvenes, among the 1st things they'll do is abolish the filibuster. They have to, cuz they'll never get enough Repubs to vote for the agenda that the Far Left has forced on their party. But they won't do it in an honest, straight forward manner, they'll back door it by changing the Senate rules to say if a bill is deemed an "emergency" in the Senate then we can bypass the cloture vote and pass it with a simple majority vote. So, whatever they want to pass gets labeled an "emergency" and no filibuster can occur. Or possibly they limit the debate on an "emergency" bill to "X" number of hours and then they bypass the cloture vote to vote of the Bill itself, thereby doing whatever the hell they want to do.
Who is going to stop them? Once they change the Senate rules, it's over. The tyranny of the majority becomes the law in both chambers of Congress, and the GOP becomes toothless. And some are saying that is a good thing, but once we cross that line then our gov't will be forever divided. No more compromise no more cooperation, just total partisan politics. One could hope that in the future a leader(s) in either party might come along that could actually unite enough people on both sides to end the divisiveness. But once that change to the Senate rules is made, then that opportunity will be gone. After what we've seen so far, who on the GOP side is going to be willing to give the democrats back the power to stop whatever the GOP wants to do, if and when they get back the Senate majority, should that be allowed to happen. Or maybe a 3rd party evolves and changes the dynamic, I dunno.
Don't tell me that Biden will prevent the democrats in Congress from doing their will, he doesn't have the balls. Probably doesn't want to anyway, he's been a follower all his life and he ain't going to change now. I foresee Pelosi and Schumer running this country now, not Biden. Will any democrat in the Senate buck his party and vote against whatever it is they want to pass? Like Joe Manchin maybe? Can you imagine the pressure on that guy if he says no? He said he would not support getting rid of the filibuster, but I'll believe it when I see him vote against whatever cute way the democrats come up with to bypass the cloture vote (filibuster). And it won't be long before we find out how bad the next 2 years are going to be.
