“these 19 Republican stalwarts”
Make that 25.
With Republicans like this, who needs Dims?
We do not need the senate any longer.
It is a collection of scheming enemies, much like the rest of the government.
“can pass the legislation with a simple majority”
Correction 2: since a constitutional amendment, it would need a super majority 67, not 51. Sorry for any confusion.
I am so sick of these quislings playing the sleight of hand on allowing leftist legislation to go forward by voting for cloture, only to later hide behind a “no” vote they know will fail that I didn’t address the necessary substantive vote count properly.
Voting for it before voting against it.
