(2,494 posts)BTW Tuberville is one of the top suspects in planning the Jan. 6th terrorist attack, and ran a shady veterans charity in which very little if any money went to veterans.

(15,568 posts)Saban should have written Manchin a letter urging him to support killing the filibuster.

(26,727 posts)From CNN's reporting - the added footnote reads:
"Coach Saban is not in favor of getting rid of the filibuster in the Senate. He believes this will destroy the checks and balances we must have in our Democracy. The others signing this letter take no position on this aspect of Senate policies"

(288 posts)Merely one of the greatest basketball players ever. A standout from high school (in West Virginia) to college (at University of West Virginia, All American) to the Olympics (1960 co-captain with Oscar Robertson of the Gold Medal winning team) to the NBA (All Star with the Lakers) to being an executive with several NBA teams.
Again Jerry West to a real West Virginia hero. But will any of this influence Manchin?

(31,963 posts)It is in his interest, given the number of black players on his team, to support things like this no matter his personal views. He also said that Tuberville would do a great job as AL Senator.
