If the filibuster is so important to requkes

[In It to Win It]

2. It's just political theater

They will use the filibuster to hide behind legislation they don’t like when they’re in the majority

They will use the filibuster to block the majority when they’re in the minority.

Common political theater.

They’re not for the filibuster because they love the filibuster. They’re for it because it helps their immediate goal, which is to block the majority.

I absolutely believe they will “abuse power” if we nuke the filibuster now and they regain the majority in the future. They did it with filibuster on court nominations. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster for lower court nominations and the GOP rammed over 200+ judges through when they had the chance; and when they regained the majority, they nuked the filibuster for SCOTUS nominations and rammed 3 of them down our throats.
