Republicans Use Filibuster To Stop Debate On Voting Rights Bill

[Hutch Starskey]

Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked the most ambitious voting rights legislation to come before Congress in a generation, using the filibuster to deal a blow to a bid by President Biden and Democrats to counter a wave of state-level ballot restrictions and fueling a political battle that promises to shape the 2022 elections.

“In all cases where justice or the general good might require new laws to be passed, or active measures to be pursued, the fundamental principle of free government would be reversed. It would be no longer the majority that would rule: the power would be transferred to the minority. Were the defensive privilege limited to particular cases, an interested minority might take advantage of it to screen themselves from equitable sacrifices to the general weal, or, in particular emergencies, to extort unreasonable indulgences.”

What it comes down to is this......Republicans only care about two things.
Cutting taxes
Appointing Conservative Judges

Both are filibuster proof. They can then filibuster anything Democrats want to do

What happened to Mr. Unity?

“I’ll be a leader for all.......what was that again.”

That was a stupid thing for Biden to say
Everyone knew Republicans would never deal with him

Like the dems never deal with Trump? LOL

That is the Mitch McConnell Washington. Total gridlock

Started once Obama was elected

You can dish out gridlock but can't take it. LOL

Dems worked with Bush
Republicans refused to work with Obama

BO got his USSC court appointments thru, CAFTA passed for starters. Dems worked with Bush but not like you seem to imply. Trying to portray BO as black political victim of the GOP is laughable.

Correction not Garland, but that was Presidential election year so that was not going to happen.

Every once in a while the post 1998 GOP does something right.

McConnell is still a treasonous Zionist 911 piece of shit.
