Yes, the filibuster can be a very nasty weapon in the hands of the Dems, but we certainly don’t need them changing the rule now when it is our only defense.
It’s pretty obvious that the Dems are expecting the GOP, even in the Senate, to stand up and fight back this time around and want to eliminate any possibility of their doing so.
The republicans will cave in. That’s what republicans do. So, it really doesn’t matter if the filibuster gets jettisoned. With it or without it, the democrats will gain due to our spineless, supposedly, “severely” conservative party that gave us a loser, liberal presidential candidate.
At least we could get the end of the filibuster out of all this phony republican tough talk.
