McConnell cautions Democrats on nixing the filibuster
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned Democrats on Tuesday against scrapping the legislative filibuster.
I think the important thing for our Democratic friends to remember is that you might not be in total control in the future, the Kentucky Republican said. Any time you start fiddling around with the rules of the Senate, I think you always need to put yourself in the other fellows shoes and just imagine what might happen when the winds shift.
McConnell added that he has resisted pressure from President Donald Trump to nix the legislative filibuster.
