    I'm thinking that the Congress-critters should not be the ones in charge of the rules.

    A "check and balance" that our Founding Fathers didn't think about.


    They have made changes to this over time.

    Recall back in the early 60s when they were trying to pass Civil Rights Acts and they were Filibustered by the Democrats?? Robert Byrd led the way!!!

    Well... The Republicans found the votes thus ending the Filibuster and ushering in the Civil Rights Act.

    LBG said, and it came from this moment... He said that he'll have the N-Word People voting Democrat for the next 250 years.

    OK, enough of the background...

    In 1975 they went with a "Silent Filibuster" ... this made it so you didn't have to speak to debate the bill. If you didn't have 60 votes you didn't take the bill for debate to the floor.

    What they want to do now is to go back to the old way of a Talking Filibuster like we use to.

    We'll get to hear the Democrats go on about Jim Crow 2.0 and all that stuff.

    Lets do it!!!

    That's been their MO for a long time now: Make small changes that, over time, allow them to take control.

    When someone points out what those small changes can become, they call him a "conspiracy theorist" or a "kook".

    Oh, ya, they stream like flaming cats when their changes start getting rolled back. Especially now.

    We don't have the votes if we don't go back to what they intended with the Filibuster and we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.

    Make it what it was, a speaking Filibuster, and forced the Democrats to speak on this 90/10 issue.

    Or... Lets just have illegals voting and ballots mailed out randomly... even better lets have dead people vote as well... We even had more people voting than actually live in the county.

    OR... we can try... Get the act passed so that the citizens vote and if they want WOKE and open borders at least we tried.

    I some times wished the republicans were more like the democrats because at least the democrats fight for what they want... republicans keep showing up to a gun fight with principles and goodwill.

    Exactly. We need to roll back these "fixes" that they've put in over the decades.

    Or... Lets just have illegals voting and ballots mailed out randomly... even better lets have dead people vote as well... We even had more
    people voting than actually live in the county.

    The thing is, if the election officials obeyed the law, none of this would happen.

    Here in Michigan, our Secretary of State VIOLATED the law - several times - in the 2020 election. Yet has not been held accountable. Several underlings also violated the law, but they haven't been held accoutable either.

    I some times wished the republicans were more like the democrats
    because at least the democrats fight for what they want... republicans keep showing up to a gun fight with principles and goodwill.

    The power hungry always have more energy than the ones who simply want to make the world a better place.
