(19,201 posts)If you're carving out a spot for privacy laws there's no harm in bringing voting rights along for the ride.
It would be an overdue "fuck you" to McConnell.

(5,104 posts)Having a Senate that could end up in GOP hands w/o a filibuster to check their extremism is a scary prospect.
The GOP could use the same tool to make abortion illegal nationwide. And that would hardly be the end of the destruction they could unleash.

(8,330 posts)What the President thinks about the filibuster matters none. He no longer has a vote in the Senate. When he was in the Senate he had a 1 100th of a say, now none. He can say he would like to see it but past that .
