Klobuchar: Senate needs to eliminate filibuster to protect abortion rights

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said on Sunday that the Senate should eliminate the filibuster in order to protect women’s abortion rights after the Supreme Court last week declined to block…

Now that you put it that way, you make some pretty convincing arguments for keeping the filibuster.

Interesting article on how the filibuster became what it is today. I vaguely remember it being discussed in the news show. Democrat Walter Mondale was the lead on it versus a Southern Democrat Senator. The epic filibuster standoff that created the 60-vote Senate

Put me down for filibuster

 

[Lesh]

In 73-74 there were an unprecedented 31 filibusters

These days we have 150

Time to kill it

People vote for change and the filibuster stops it.

Doing that would finish what Trump started.

Keep the filibuster. Avoid the fucking Marxist agenda of the Democraps.

 

[dblack]

How so?

It would amplify the hyper-partisanship even more and tear the country apart.

Interesting claim.

Are you saying that Republicans would get even MORE crazy?

Interesting claim.

I'm saying both sides would. If losing an election means the "other side" can do whatever it wants, with no need for consensus, we're fucked.

It would make losing an election utterly intolerable for half the nation.

The Founders warned "equal suffrage among the States...contradicts the fundamental maxim of republican government."

"Its operation contradicts the fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail," Alexander Hamilton wrote.

Filibuster

Our national debt would be $100 trillion without it.

Slippery Slope argument.

/——-/ More often it stops change for the worse. Keep the filibuster.

 

[Rye Catcher]

Let the Senators who decide to filibuster talk for 24 hours a day for as long as they want. This was done in the past.

When they finally shut up, let the up and down vote be called yes or no; allowing the name of each Senator for all of the people to know, and the personal agenda of their Senator.

Once the the Bill has been sent from the H. or Rep. to the Senate the debates between the chambers will come to a conclusion, sooner or later (letting the American Citizens have the ability to see how sausages are made - metaphorically).

And mandate attendance

As soon as attendance drops below a certain level...the vote can be called. No more yakking at an empty room

Which just happens to be accurate. I just love how you fascists want to destroy the institutions that PROTECT THE PEOPLE from government tyranny.

At least a quorum.
