2017 “I think destroying the filibuster would be a great accomplishment.”
2021 ??????????
I would love to see the filibuster killed. Ive long been an opponent of it.
Let elections have consequences. Lousy legislation can quickly be gutted in future congresses, and lousy presidents be quickly identified.
The process will be more dynamic and better mirror what the founders envisioned.
Plus, after losing their connection to their state legislatures, senators are immune from scrutiny for 5 straight years. Thats absurd.
On the plains of hesitation lie the blackened bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory lay down to rest, and in resting died.
