The opinion from some other people on Fox was that President Biden is trying to appease his leftist base making a desperate attempt knowing he's going to lose this. He knows four months that two senators on his party are in total disagreement with any changes yet he still pushing this legislation. Even if the filibuster were gone, he doesn't have the 50 votes and he needs 60 to change and get rid of the filibuster.

Democrats have used the filibuster at least 10 times in the last 15 years. It's probably way more than that so do we call the Democratic party racist for using the filibuster? People call me racist here and on Facebook when they are desperate and can't discuss things rationally. To me, use the word racist means they are in their secondary fighting position and about to call Broken Arrow!

Great share, Biden’s speech was disjointed and factually incorrect. It is a by partisan MAJORITY that is opposing his agenda.

It is a form of emergency powers. Enabling Act. I was listening to the same discussion that Chuck Schumer was saying about using the filibuster and how it should be saved. He was worried about the minority not having rights to discuss things in Congress. So that means that the Democrats were racist because they wanted to keep the filibuster 15 years ago?

LTC (Join to see) The filibuster is not the problem. The abuse of the filibuster is the problem. The Constitution doesn't require 60 votes in the Senate to pass legislation. That's just a Senate rule. Rules change all the time. Nobody cares about the filibuster when confirming circuit and appellate judges. Nobody cared about the filibuster when confirming Supreme Court Justices. Nobody cared about the filibuster when confirming cabinet appointees. Nobody cared about the filibuster when passing tax cuts.

This debate over the filibuster is stupid. Change it back to its original model of forcing people to actually debate and defend their positions (and not hide behind a procedural vote) or get rid of the thing completely. Any references to Hitler or trying to play the race card falls on deaf ears.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I may be wrong but Democrats adored the filibuster. It is a mute point anyway. Democratic Senators Sinema and Machin are against it so. 2 Democrats say no so President Biden having a tissy fist serves no purpose but to show immaturity on his part as a piss-poor POTUS with no resiliency. He needs to read Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win friends and influence people' like Larry Kudlow stated.

President Biden just formed a Department of Justice domestic terrorist unit which goes after people who go against the school board among other things. Sounds like something out of Babylon bee but the new Voting Rights Act is a jerry-rigged piece of legislation design it to rig the election in favor of Democrats. Also, when President Biden calls anyone who's against getting rid of the filibuster a slave owner and a racist, what about the Democrats 20 years ago trying to keep the filibuster? Does that mean Chuck Schumer who was defending the filibuster 25 years ago is a racist? Like something out of the outer limits the President Biden is losing his mind and Washington DC is now the Twilight Zone that's why you have extremely hot this Democrats like Stacey Abrams trying to avoid being in the same stage as President Biden. In the past, you called us Nazis and racist with no proof just because we're not against something that you thought or someone else thought was inappropriate. Look how Senator manchin and Senator Sinema are being publicly humiliated by President Biden but I'm glad that Senator Sinema stated on the senate floor that she wasn't going to vote his way and later Senator matches but saying that as well not just recently but six months ago but Democrats are in a circular firing squad because they pretended to be moderate when they're actually very leftist. I voted Democrat in 1996 and Senator manchin and Senator Sinema are more like those blue dog Democrats. Yes, the enabling Act of 1933 what's a way for Hitler to come to power and after president erdogan of Turkey had a military overthrow that didn't happen, he also outlawed all other political parties that were against him. Look at the new f c c candidates that President Biden wants to appoint, she wants to get rid of Fox News or any other news service that she considers misinformation when misinformation could be something akin to anything they don't agree with. Slippery slope of ism and you thought President Trump was going to overthrow the government?

LTC (Join to see) the people who they are going after for attacking school boards are committing felonies they are giving death threats. You might think that's okay since you're a fascist but most people do not. Sentence invention are being gone after for betraying their own party and breaking in a fortune in donations for it. People are leaving money on their nightstand on the way out. You want to try this truth instead of silly lies.
