🚨BREAKING: Senator Schumer announces plan to push through filibuster and proceed with voting rights legislation using a procedure known as "messages between the Houses" in a caucus memo.

Here's what you need to know🧵👇
When the House and Senate pass different versions of the same bill, the bill must go through reconciliation in order for the chambers to approve the same bill text. Messages between the Houses is a form of reconciliation.
Here's what happens: when chambers disagree on bill text, they can send the bill back and forth to each other with revisions until a final text is agreed upon. Once the bill has been sent between chambers 3 times, the motion to proceed CANNOT be filibustered in the Senate.
Democrats in the House will take a bill that has already undergone messages between the Houses 3 times, substitute the bill's language for the #FreedomToVoteAct and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, pass the legislation and quickly send it to the Senate. #JLVRAA
Once the Senate receives the bill, it will go to the floor for debate. Senate Republicans will be unable to filibuster debate on the bill like they had done 3 times prior on voting rights legislation in 2021. They will have to come to the floor and debate the bill.
During floor debate, you can expect senators to give speeches about the bill and filibuster reform. Amendments can also be added to the bill. Republicans will likely propose amendments to try and remove voter protections.
After senators speak, a motion will be made to end debate on the bill and move to final passage. Republican senators could filibuster the motion, but that would be the opportunity for Senate Democrats to pass a carveout of the filibuster rules for voting rights legislation.
While it's not known how long debate will last, we can expect that a final vote will happen by Monday — Martin Luther King Jr. Day — at the latest. This was the deadline Sen. Schumer set earlier this month in a "Dear Colleague" letter.
The next few days will be very busy in the Senate. Catch the latest updates on our live #DemocracyAlerts page.👇

1. WOW I thought so . ...

4. It will not work, as it still relies on getting a carve-out passed, which Manchin and Sinema

will not vote for. Kelly and Tester are also balking at a carve out now as well. Maybe others lurking out there.

5. Senator Testor came out today and said "if a carve out is needed to pass voting rights then I'm in."

JMHO..Kelly will go along. He sees sinema being totally roasted at home and will definitely be primaried.

6. Good for Tester! The 2 who always were the huge problem are Coal and Curtsy.

I agree on Kelly, he would never be the single holdout.

2. Good to know that he can pull a rabbit out

Of his hat. Ta-da!

3. Can this work only if both Houses are controlled by the same party?

Can this work only if both Houses are controlled by the same party?

Could either majority leader refuse to discuss it?
