Hillary Clinton backs ending filibuster, says GOP 'does not respect the rule of law'
The Hill ^ | 09/30/2021 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Hillary Clinton on Thursday expressed support for ending the filibuster, contending that the Republican Party “does not respect the rule of law.”

When asked during an interview for The Atlantic Festival’s Ideas Stage if she would end the filibuster, Clinton said “absolutely,” pointing to the GOP’s refusal to vote on Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court in 2016.

“Keeping the filibuster now, when you're dealing with a political party that does not respect the rule of law, does not even respect the process unless it works for them, you know, witness what they did to Merrick Garland when President Obama had every right to appoint a Supreme Court justice,” Clinton said.

Who the F cares what she backs.

She’s a non-person.

But if the GOP takes the Senate they will demand that filibuster be restored.
They want it both ways.

Young man who was a college student working to shred documents for Hillary at the Rose Law Firm. “I looked at some of the pages and I knew they were the ones I heard on the news were under subpoena. I felt sort of sick inside but I didn’t tell anybody. I really needed that job.” Hillary’s wimpy defense: “A law firm has the right to dispose of their oldest documents after cases are closed.” (Dates of these were a few months old.)

Then decades more criminality.
RINOs let her glide without going to prison.

Then she gets stronger and feistier and fights Trump and now the current GOP.

Never give someone like that another chance.

That giant suckin' sound ya hear are all the businesses and foreign nations stopping their donations to the "Foundation" cuz Hillary ain't never gonna be in power.

As much as I grumble about Resident Xiden we should all thank Jesus Christ on a daily basis for the fact that Hillary is as much as has been in politics as she is in Bill's sex life.

Had the rule of law been truly respected, Bill and Hillary would be wearing matching bright orange outfits right about now.
