For anyone who thought the two Georgia seats would have made ANY difference in this session of the Senate, I hope the scales have fallen from your eyes. There are now 5 Republican Senators on record as bowing to the Democrats. There are probably another 15 who are wobbly. The RINO rot is deep and wide.
Yep, if they thought they could get away with it l bet 30 R Senators would side with the rats. Maybe more.
It would have made a major difference. The Senate majority party decides which bills to bring to the floor and the Senate rules...which include the filibuster requirement of 60 votes to bring a bill to the floor.
Now, the democrat majority can, if they convince 50 Senators (plus the VP) to vote for it, change the rules and get rid of the filibuster and 60 vote requirement for cloture. This would allow every bill to be passed with 50 votes plus VP.
So, yes, it would have made a huge difference if the Dems extort their two holdouts who say they won’t vote to change the rules...which is quite likely.
