Xeybozn 07/23/21 10:03:00 AM #21:	masterplum posted... You are proposing killing the filibuster to enact a voting rights act instead? I mean neither of these options are good ones. You kill the filibuster and lose the election you suddenly could be looking at a packed Supreme Court by republicans. Why would Republicans need to pack the Supreme Court when they'll have at least a 6-3 advantage already? And if they really wanted to do that (or anything else that scares Democrats), they could just get rid of the filibuster themselves at any time. Really, the filibuster helps the GOP way more because it blocks popular Democratic bills and gives them an excuse for not passing the crazy stuff that the GOP base wants the most. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! <cite>Xeybozn posted [p:956381171] in Politics C...
