Topic	Biden's calling for the removal of the filibuster to codify RvW
s0nicfan 06/30/22 11:59:45 AM #8:	Solar_Crimson posted... The GOP is going to get rid of the filibuster the instant they take the Senate, so may well nuke it now and do what they can while they can. They won't because of Manchin and Sinema, but still. The only time the GOP removed any kind of filibuster was for Supreme Court nominations, which McConnell said he would do when Obama was President as direct retaliation for democrats removing the filibuster on lower court appointments. The idea that Democrats need to remove it because in the future Republicans might remove it isn't actually a good argument for removing it and it's not based in reality. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
