LOL, The GOP Makes Manchin Their B*tch....Again...

It would make it easier to pass things you don't like. That doesn't mean those things are unconstitutional. We have courts to rectify that.

I have to disagree, and it's because I don't trust my government no matter who's in office. I don't want things passed easily and then
go to court over it.

This isn't a time for legislators to stray from the tribe.

Coal has nothing to do with his filibuster promise. Now if he voted to lift the filibuster to pass something that helped the coal companies you would have an argument.

and as of now...that isn't on the table...if it was...and he could make it happen...he would do it....

Now what is more noble......changing the filibuster to protect voting rights or changing it to pad your pockets

I'm absolutely fine with leaving it intact but that is because that is what I want, not because it's going to "destroy the Constitution".

It's not happened. Your "what if's" do not apply. He has lived up to his promise. Good for him.

Any idea why the republicans are against the Bill? I really don't know.

Do you want a filibuster reinstated in the House too?

We Already Got Rid of the Filibuster Once Before

The House used to have a filibuster too. And when legislators got rid of it, the result was a more democratic, productive institution.

I mean, how did we ever survive without a filibuster in the house for 100 years

The $5.5 Trillion legislation is a fossil fuel killer / Green Energy promoting, debt-adding Marxist/Socialist Leftist Extremist nightmare.

Manchin knows this bill is bad for his state, bad for his constituents, bad for the country...that is why he is not voting with the extremists.

What the fuck does a voting rights bills have to do with fossil fuels??

And where the fuck did you get 5.5 trillion dollars for a voting rights bill??

My God you conservatives just spew dumb shit

What I want is really irrelevant here. I could want it overturned and I would still respect the rare occasion where a politician lives up to his word.

I see... Thanks you cleared that up for me.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The nuclear option? Might as well burn the Constitution,

can you point to the part of the Constitution that lays out the rules for the filibuster?

His word is bullshit...........


and as for Manchin living up to his word...he hasn't.....

Yeah well, Republicans have no standing in condemning the "debt adding" part.

The FACT is the Democrats have enough votes to pass - to ram - anything they want into law.

The FACT is the reason they can't is because of the DEMOCRATS

Reminds me of the Repubs attempt to get rid of ObamaCare. The Repubs had enough votes to pass - to ram - anything they want into law.

Constitution doesn't mention filibuster....

But if you can find it, I'll be interested to read what it says

It's obvious that the Biden plan can't succeed. The best thing to do now is take the shreds of the plan that is left and spin it as a victory.

And so, the good news is, America slides further down into the hole as compared to the rest of the world's democracies.

China's ascending to being the foremost world power is being assured!

What consequence is China's cyclical failing real estate markets compared to everything that America is prepared to throw away by refusing to spend enough money to keep it at the top of the heap?

The political right in America is the dog that is finally going to catch the car he's been chasing!
