Why do the Chinese want to keep the filibuster?

I think she sees the writing on the wall. A lot of Dems have been talking about eliminating the filibuster thinking they will win control of the Senate. I hope the Republicans eliminate the current system and go back to a real filibuster.

I think I read Manchin, Feinstein and Sinema have come out against killing the filibuster.

....filibuster....It is not often used....

Liar. The filibuster is used on EVERY vote of the full Senate. Filibuster is simply deemed to apply. Every ballot, except for judges, must have 60 votes for passage.

How did Harry Reid unilaterally abolishing the filibuster for Presidential nominations work out for the Democrats? Perhaps there are some Democrats that can remember.

I never understood why they had the filibuster in the first place.

If it’s such a good idea, the Constitution should be amended to incorporate it in the procedures of the U.S. Senate.

I like the original filibuster where it took 67 senators to pass a bill (or close debate) .

Laws should be passed by a supermajority if you treasure freedom, because the essence of every law is to curtail freedom.

We have more than enough laws, if anything we need to get rid of many of them.

I think that many of them are deeply regretting that Harry Reid eliminated the filibuster for judicial nominations and don’t want to repeat that mistake.
