Alarm bells ringing. What Durbin has in store for America is not what people will like..

[FredSchwartz]

Here’s the reform I’d like to see.
1. Every bill has an “author.”
2. Must be in you seat listening to the “debate” on new legislation.
3. Able to ask the “author” questions. For example: How did you decide on the $ amount? (or % amount)?
4. Recorded vote, taken electronically with-in 2 minutes.
5. Members who vote against a bill are required to submit for publication, a max 2 page listing of their specific objections to a bill.

No Dickie. No we don’t

[Sirius Lee]

The Republicans should take the demoncraps up on their offer about 2 days before the 2022 elections. See if they really mean what they say.

[chiller]

eau contraire.....there would be no debates....just votes

[Belteshazzar]

Dick Durbin, the face of Illinois Democrat corruption, has a motto he lives by:

No morals. No ethics. No principles. No qualms. No problem.

[beethovenfan]

He means “for the good of the Democrats”.

[KarlInOhio]

As much as I hate to give Dems helpful suggestions, I'll tell him the same thing I tell the Republicans: you don't need to eliminate the filibuster, you need to enforce it.

No more postal reply card filibusters. If you want to delay a vote on legislation to debate it then debate it. Hold the floor and tell the world what is wrong with the bill. And if your opponent wants to delay the vote through debate then respond and show the country what is good with the bill. If it is that good, then taking a week for the "world's greatest deliberative body" to deliberate it should only increase public support. But if your bill cannot stand up to public debate, then maybe you were in error trying to take a feces cake, slapping on some chocolate icing and telling us it is too delicious to wait even five minutes to buy it.

[Tommy Revolts]

Good. Remember what the Dems wish for after we kick their asses in 2022.

[DennisR]

We need Durbin to retire for the good of the country.

He is not covering the alternative like when the Texas legislature bailed the state to stop the vote on the abortion laws. And the funny thing is that the feds are already in a territory and not a state so they can just go to their rental apartment and door dash until the system breaks down rather than filibuster (at party expense). Texas set a precedence here because of the way the GOP handled it.

He’s really saying we need to change the rules so we can get our way. The current rules are for when we aren’t in power. We can go back to them when we lose power.........fool.

"We need filibuster reform for the good of the country the Democrats"

There... fixed it

[clearcarbon]

"Sen. Dick Durbin: We need filibuster reform for the good of the country"

We need a durbinbuster for the cure.
