The Filibuster MUST Go

[DrLove]

7.8 trillion is weak. I bet if you search the inter webs harder you can find a .org that says Trump did way over 10 trillion!

NOT BEOTCH

Harry Reid...a Democrat...nuked the filibuster

Reid nuked ONLY the filibuster for lower court appointments and Cabinet appointments...all which Repuyblicans were filibustering for no good reason.

There was no choise then...and there is no choice now.

Nuke the filibuster completely.

Minority rule sucks.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Minority rule sucks.

Unless the Democrats do it. Then you're OK with it.

Reid set the precedent.
Don't like it? Blame him.

Bet You Don't Know That GOP Is BLOCKING Vote On Debt Ceiling

They're not just refusing to vote to lift the debt ceiling, they're filibustering it. Yes, they really do want to blow up the economy so they can blame Democrats.

crooksandliars.com

So Mitch McConnell says the Debt Ceiling MUST be raised.

But he and all the GOP Senators are going to vote against it.

That's bad enough...but they are also FILIBUSTERING even the VOTE!

This has to stop.

Dem Senators have to remove that tool from these cynical bastards

Might have to get rid of it, just to preserve basic voting rights. How embarrassing for this country.

Until you two faced left wing bastards need it.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Oh well. Chances are McConnell will do that anyway...cynical bastards.

I remember when people were saying Desm shouldn't end the filibuster for SCOTUS appointments because ...OH NO....the Republicans will slam their Justices through!.

Well look howTHAT turned out.

Bullshit

Time to end it now

You never once stop to consider what ramifications this will have for your own party, let alone the country, should you ever get your way, do you?

You foolish human being.

It will lead to one party or another forcing their agendas down the throats of the minority party, (and by proxy the people they represent) which could just as easily be yours. This kind of behavior would be destructive to our country. Representative government would well and truly die the moment it happens.

Such simple minded people like you should be allowed nowhere near our lawmaking apparatus.

or a voting booth for that matter.

Lol. Unfortunately we can't stop stupid from voting. There is no mental fitness test in place. Never will be.

And when Republicans regain power, they can just as easily undo it the same way. There will be no end to this lunacy.

Yes, true. But when ity comes to voting rights, they will end up on the losing end of that, over time.Inherently.

at least until the democrats need the filibuster than it should be reinstated.

Not a bad idea. Get rid of the filibuster, protect voting rights, then put it right back in place. Well done, sir.

 

[blackhawk]

Funny how the partisans on both sides never want to end the filibuster when they are the minority party.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Doesn't matter who wins or loses or who is on the right or wrong side pertaining to the voting rights issue. Once the filibuster dies, everyone loses.

Maybe, maybe not. We lived without it, before it was invented to diminish the brown vote power. And we continue to live with a weakened version of it, as it has already been eliminated for some situations over the last few years.

Can you really do that with the filibuster?

I don't see why not. Maybe not?

How many millions of African-Americans and minorities voted in the 2020 election?

Doesn't that put the lie to the assumption that they are being actively denied the right to vote?
