I love how it says Democrats blocked it. Even though they are the minority party. So tell me how McConnell wasn’t complicit with their stance.

Obviously you missed the 60 rule the rats imposed and McConnell didn’t change when he became the Senate Majority leader. So yeah he is the one to blame

Motion to proceed (cloture) failed to get the required 60 votes.
It is long past time that Senate rules were re-written.

They didn’t filibuster it. They simply threatened to filibuster it and McConnell quickly jerked his head back into his shell.
