I find it amazing how a few years ago, Democrats were supporting the filibuster, including Obama. Now they want to do away with it, calling it Jim Crow.

Can we ever trust a bunch of people who are so hypocritical? It wasn't Jim Crow in 2005, but it is now.

Listen carefully to what Obama said then. Shoe is on the other foot and the Dems flip flop.....sad.

And who else supported the filibuster back then? Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Patrick Leahy, Dick Durbin, and many others. Cory Booker said in 2019 that he would not support getting rid of the filibuster.

In 2017, 32 Democrat senators joined a bipartisan letter in urging the chamber to preserve the 60 vote threshold, one of those Democrats being Kamala Harris.

So my friends on the left....any response to the flip flop hypocrisy????

Yeah, I was more asking the question rhetorically.

They have NO response, because it is so blatant as a flip flop.

Now that inflation is escellated to 7% plus per year, the Democrats have shifted gears away from Build Back (Democrat Insiders Bank Accounts) Better, to voting rights reform. Democrats are trying to codify outright voter fraud.

Listen here, you have a VAX card to enter a restaurant but no ID whatsover not a voting booth. Thnik about it.... I'll wait...

straightman....they are full of contradictions and hypocrisy.

I keep asking a simple question....if there are people in disadvantaged communities that do not have ID, why not make a major push to help those people get one.

Of course, a person cannot live without an ID and now must produce an ID to show they are the person that possess the vaccination card.

The list of things you need an ID for is huge....so again, help those who have none get one.

Don't fuck with voting laws that expect identification to show you are the registered voter.

You do realize politicians are hypocrites, right? It goes both ways. They'll do whatever it takes to fit their agenda. Remember Merrick Garland's appointment to the Supreme Court?

What about his appointment? Damn glad he isn't on the Supreme Court. He has clearly proven he is an idiot...and doesn't understand the judicial system.

Punchy 100% on point here. Any of you that think your parties politicians are your side are wrong. There are some with good intentions on both sides but can usually not get things accomplished in the cesspool that is our legislative branch.

An idiot wouldn't know that the senate filibuster was put in place to force deliberation and inhibit knee jerk policy changes. But an opportunist knows that they can change their argument when it suits thir advantage. An average person can see that its not a minority of Senators that favor keeping the filibuster.

A moron would say that a minority should not hold up a vote in the senate (even though the majority are holding things up) and doesn't realize he is in the minority.

Actually, I think it is very short-sighted for the dem's to want to blow up the filibuster. Do they not realize how this will come back to haunt them when the conservatives are in power?

The pres is simple majority, the house is simple majority and the senate has the 60 vote threshold to insure that the extreme elements, on either side, are not allowed to just ram their garbage thru.

^ exxxxactly... you see how the simple majority change worked out for the SC. Harry Reid did that. Now they want to put the demagoguery on the other side but they are the ones who blew it up in the first place.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this is yet another wasteful distraction from this lame administration's path of destruction.

I seriously doubt Manchin or Sinema are on board with the filibuster change. The more inept Biden gets the more desperate Democrats get to "show something" for the midterms.

Schumer and Nancy are getting psychotic at this stage.

"Voting Rights"... we already have that.

You show up at the precinct your registered in with an ID and you can vote... once.


What the Democrats want to do with voting is a disaster in the making.

How soon can we get these idiots out of office?

You’re missing his point . He’s simply stating that both sides play it both ways.

I got his point, but was making my own about what a terrible judge the dude would make based upon his bias and current lack of uniformity in the Justice Department.

Yes, both sides play it both ways. Unfortunately, politicians are all power hungry.

My God spammer.. the Trumpian focus.

What's more stupid than the notion of Mexico paying for the wall?... pits having Congress approval on all building costs and then FJB halts construction followed by a huge uptick in illegal immigration.

Trump put some great judges in place but I'm certain you hate them. That's how people with common sense know they're doing a good job.

Merrick Garland wants to have the FBI and DOJ go after parents voicing opinions at board meetings. That's how fucked up his twisted little mind is.

This country dodged a bullet not having him appointed to SCOTUS.

Trump actually appointed judges who believe in and support the Constitution. Garland wants the FBI and DOJ hiding under your bed waiting for you to do something wrong.

Actually Mexico was kind of paying for the wall. They were keeping the illegals in their country while awaiting asylum or other immigration hearings. That saved us millions and millions of dollars. The message also hugely slowed the flood of illegal immigrants into the country, which saved states millions in educational, medical and other benefit costs.

spammer...I hope you did your research CAREFULLY.

Yes, 10 of Trumps 234 appointed Federal judges were declared unqualified, 4.3%.

But guess what....Obummer had 14 of his 185 declared unqualified, 7.6%


OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

that was in a time when both sides almost played fair and gave a shit...THAT time has passed...the gloves have been off for 5 yrs between the two parties

in two years the PUBS will take the senate back...so basically two years of unfettered judgeships

looks like won't get a supreme court judge before the next year is out
