Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows are on fire, on HANNITY, with host Gregg Jarrett.
Jim: (on the filibuster rule) “... it’s not in the Constitution... it’s a rule of the Senate...they changed that rule for the Supreme Court.. so if it’s that important, it seems to me that national security... we should say to the Senate, maybe you ought to change that Rule. “
Mark: “ We spend more money on sugar subsidies than building a wall that will secure this nation! “
It sure feels like a change is in the air, but I’m not expecting a MOAB anytime soon.
More evidence of (possible) change:
ROME—Pope Francis on Friday capped a year of sex-abuse scandals in the Catholic Church by vowing to “do all that is necessary” to punish abusers for their “abominations” and urging the guilty to turn themselves in.
“To those who abuse minors, I would say this: convert and hand yourself over to human justice, and prepare for divine justice,” the pope told Vatican officials.
I thought I heard on TV this AM that the Senate had voted to suspend the rules. That’s another parliamentary way around the filibuster/cloture rule maybe?
I understand why the Senate is reluctant to change the 60 vote rule. It truly is better to have more than a bare majority agree to things, when trying to manage the herding of cats.
But the turtle needs to do whatever it takes to deliver.
