Why is it that the minority party can rule what gets voted on in the Senate? Isn’t there a way around that? What gives?

Sasse asked for 'unanimous consent' the baby killer objected, they'd have to record the votes and be able to invoke cloture. Sadly, a hill babies will continue to die on, but Republicans won't. Dems will.

I did read about the unanimous consent. I still do not understand the arcane sausage makings of the Senate rules.

In short, correct me if I’m wrong, the Rs won’t stand up and do the nuke action thing to force a vote?
