IdaBlue: Kill The Filibuster
Back when Republicans were threatening “The Nuclear Option” to abolish the filibuster, I was
really hoping they would. You recall that Republicans were hoping to get Justices Roberts and
Alito
confirmed, and, anticipating Democratic objections, threatened to do away with the filibuster rule. I hoped they’d kill it because I knew one day Democrats would be back in power and Republicans would use it to stymie their agenda. So, I supported getting rid of it then, and I support it now. For several reasons. Elections should mean something, and the minority should not be able to stop the majority from enacting its agenda. If the agenda is unpopular, well, elections come along every two years/
