But these same guys would have the Senate kill the Filibuster to gut the power of a minority.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

If the minority party wants power they can win some elections. Until then, a single senator should not have the ability to torpedo a bill because 1-49% of the Senate disagrees.

A single Senator doesn’t have that power. He can be clotured.

You would be living with Canada style NHS single payer healthcare right now were it not for the Filibuster you want to gut. You would also have lost your right to bear arms were it not for the Filibuster.

What do you not get about this? THEY HAD 60 VOTES! They had them. We don’t. They lost a vote and couldn’t kill the right to bear arms, because their Pelosi House was ready with a bill to regulate them away. The GOP Filibuster is all that stopped it.
