Yes, please do that. -- nm - Senator McConell Sep 14, 09:00 10
- Like he won't in a minute when he needs to? Come on man -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 09:15 9
  - he never did it though. McConnell is the reason its still intact. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 10:35
  - Make him open that door. Don’t do it when he’s going to be able to waltz right in in 16 months. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 09:19
  - He had plenty of opportunities to do it and didn’t during Trump’s first two years. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 09:16 6
    - He didn’t need to. He got everything he wanted without it. Tax cuts and SCOTUS. -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 09:22
    - Your premise is that he wants Dems to eliminate the filibuster so that he won't be blamed? Or what? -- nm - mara Sep 14, 09:21 4
      - Yes, same as ending the filibuster on judges. The Dems lifted almost all of the restrictions and he greatly benefited from that. - spamlet Sep 14, 09:22 3

        He ended it for the Supreme Court. If it suits him he doesn't care. He doesn't particularly care about it for other things because he doesn't really - pmb Sep 14, 09:25
but that would open a big box of pandora worms in a can! -- nm - mud Sep 14, 08:58
Or, bring back the filibuster where they have to actually stand there and talk. No more just saying you're filibustering like you're Michael Scott -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 14, 08:57
Lol, no -- nm - Sen. Manchin Sep 14, 08:57
