If The Senate becomes a simply majority vote part of Congress like The House, what is the point of having a Senate?! Of course one could say that the purpose of The Senate has been totally corrupted since Senators were changed to direct-election by the 19th Amendment.

Mr. McConnell also mocked Senator Durbin...Good. Because Durbin should be mocked each and every day.

It's why the senate so vehemently opposed looking into election fraud, it's how they stay in office forever
I realize the late Rush Limbaugh and Trump say its better to try and work with the Republican party instead of starting a third party.
Lately I dissagee. Both parties need to be culled from the fabric of society, they can start with turtle head

Agree 100%
It upset the careful balance of the checks.
That took reduced the power of the states and made Fedzilla less accountable.

Mitch is all hat and no cattle, he knew the GA general election and Senate runnoffs were rigged by the Dems, yet he happily allowed Schumer to make him his b@%*h anyway...

Following the Constitution would be a good first step, but the FeralGovenment™ is now completely lawless.

If Meghan Markel were on cocaine always,
trafficked in children, sold out America to China,
while bedding the honeypot given,
she could be the backstabbing, shame of Kentucky: McConnell.

Why does any state have more than one house since both are filled by population? Only Nebraska seems to have understood the implication of Reynolds v. Sims.

The Civil War eviscerated the power of the states and made them subservient to the central government.

And what does Mitch mean? Is he going to write more stern letters? Shudder.

So Schumer and McConnell are both hypocrites.
When Schumer was Minority Leader, he was all for the filibuster.
When McConnell was Majority Leader, he oversaw the use of the reconciliation procedure to pass a major fiscal bill (the Trump tax cuts) without a single Democratic vote. Now, he is absolutely horrified that Schumer, as Majority Leader, might oversee the use of the reconciliation procedure to pass a major fiscal bill (on infrastructure) without a single Republican vote.
I just wish they would both stop posturing. They should admit that it’s power politics. Right now, the Dems have the power, though limited by the narrowness of their edge.

You are correct, the 17th just finished off what the war started.

The “elephant in the room” that the politicians and media hide in coverage of this debate is that filibuster increases a Senator’s power to about 5 times that of a House Member.
Amy of them that can be coerced into ceding that power is a fool.
BTW our Founders incorporated the use of self-interest to preserve their Constitution in many places (though not specifically here).

It was more important to get rid of Trump and open the border back up to Mitch and his bitches.
