if Biden doesn't forcefully abolish the filibuster, aggressively fight to pass Green New Deal with 50 votes+codify Roe, gay rights, & contraception...

The demise of the corrupt Dem party is a beautiful thing.

If there was anything of value in that link, explain it in your own words. If you cannot do that, you do not understand it.

We seem to have lost the topic of the thread and you seem not to want to actually discuss things in a rational way

As to the topic of the thread, the President does NOT have the authority to change Senate rules

The filibuster is of course a Senate rule

The United States is evenly divided and polarized. Unless President Biden can get in front of an issue where he has 60% support, there is no point in expecting him to do something. President Biden is doing the best he can. He faces serious problems that lack easy and obvious solutions. Half the country wants him to fail at everything.

Welcome today World!

But Schumer can and works with Biden…

Yeah, and a country ran by one political party is glorious in your eyes…

"Codify"? What's wrong with democracy? Lefties seem to want a monarchy in D.C. these days in the dying days of the democrat party.

Our Constitution was built on the ideal of compromise to pass laws and run the government

With a filibuster, that is no longer possible.

It creates gridlock…..time to get rid of it

Gridlock is good if the issue doesn't have overwhelming support. Making radical changes with a 50-50 Senate is stupid, it does not indicate widespread support. This is why I can't stand liberals, you invite chaos for instant gratification instead of actually looking at the long term ramifications.

He is failing at everything.

.

True. But it’s not a contradiction. The best he can do is also to fail at all he does.

Like installing 3 radicals to the SC with no cloture rule in effect?

Now lets hear about Reid in......

If we want CHINA to run the U.S. we'd elect Democrats.

 

[marvin martian]

If one party has the White House, Senate and House, they should be able to pass the legislation they want

And yet your fellow baby-killers STILL lost their federal license to kill. Guess it wasn't that important after all.

LOL

More justification for why we need to end the Filibuster

It is the GOP way, stop anything from happening and complain that Democrats got nothing done..

This is as stupid as voting for guys that say government isn't the solution... Guess what they make sure of it... Think about, if they got it to work they would be wrong...

Look at other countries who are getting much better value for money from there taxes, they don't vote for people who are out to destroy Government institutions to start with..

Who goes to a Job Interview and says the whole job can't work and you don't want it to work anyway... Would you give that person the job?

Nope, Justices serve for life, once they make a ruling it's not likely to change for decades. Not the same as federal laws changing every time one side gets control. Next?

Making the appointment of radical SC's outside the mainstream much more consequential in the long term than laws.

Nothing was filibustered on abortion. Your party didn't even TRY, even when they have the House, Senate, and White House. Why is that?

The idiots thought that the Supreme Court would actually stand by their decisions

It is sad. Those radical justices never would have been confirmed had the filibuster rule not been changed.
