Make them do a real filibuster, enough of folding to a threat of filibuster. Let them talk until they can’t talk anymore and then vote.

If there aren’t 60 votes what is the need for a filibuster? The only reason for Schumer to filibuster is either he knows enough Democrats are going to vote with the Republicans or he knows McConnell is going nuclear.

“Make them do a real filibuster, enough of folding to a threat of filibuster. Let them talk until they can’t talk anymore and then vote.”

We can’t afford to tie up the Senate with needless BS. This will just hurt us.

There are too many appointments to confirm and not enough time for the part time Congress.

I agree, but I hope to hell the repubs don’t agree to NOT go nuclear now or in the future. The democrats have no leverage. None.
