They’ll keep trying to pass the Cheat Forever Act. Without it they know they’re A) going to get shellacked in November and B) probably never going to be able to pull of a repeat of the Steal.
If you thought states had passed Election Integrity Laws before, wait til you see what they pass after the November elections when several RINO/Democrat governors in key swing states get booted out of office.
How much you want to bet they’ll primary Manchin and Sinema when they’re back up for reelection.
Looks like Dems shot themselves in the Senatorial foot. By forcing a vote to pander to their progressive wing, Dem senators in red and purple states who were in hiding on these issues and that are up for election in 2022 like Kelly in Az, Hassan in NH and Tester in Montana and a few others were forced to load the ammunition into their prospective Republican opponents’ guns to blow them away come fall. These senators have voted against the express desires of their constituents to please the national Democrat Party and they are going to hear it from their Republican and Independent and the few sane Dem constituents’ night and day until November. Enjoy the suck.
What ever happened to that NASA bill content replacement ploy?
The support for the filibuster was bipartisan, according to Pelosi’s definition. She said that if one Republican voted for something that Democrats supported, it was bipartisan. I wonder if the MSM will report it as a bipartisan defense of the filibuster.
The Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media - NO Lie They Won't Tell would be hailing those two as McLame-esq Heros. The Conscience of their Party, Brave Statesmen willing to buck the majority for what's "right".
What a biased piece of crap.
Sinema and Manchin remember what happened when Reid changed some rules, and how the Democrats got their tails handed to them by the next Republican majority.
My guess is that if they handed been the two Democrats against, someone else would have stepped in. The Democrats do not want that rule removed because it will beat them to death when the Republicans take charge.
Schumer was glad someone killed it for the very reason you state. he can tell the AOC people that they tried but Sinema and Manchin were the “bad” Democrats. And Manchin will be given ticker tape parades “metaphorically” from his base in WV, which just got significantly stronger with all the push back from Democrat loud mouths. The only way he could lose his race in WV is to die, and even that might not be enough.
Both were yes votes for legalization of voter fraud AKA HR 1. So yes they saved the filibuster but ok with the rat take over of every state’s election rules or lack thereof.
.......if the marxist democrats had a functioning brain cell they would kick Kneepads and Brandon to the curb and install Manchin and Synema in their place. # 1, their November 2020 Coup didn’t work and is backfiring badly on them and # 2 they are fixing to get wiped out in November which very well could lead to them being out of power for decades.
A half loaf is better than no loaf at all.
I thought I read somewhere that Murkowski was going to vote in favor of lifting the filibuster rules. Wonder what happened to change her mind, again?
I have to stop reading when they call this bill a “voting rights” bill.
