‘Shame On Ss:’ Sen. Durbin Says Of The Filibuster Impeding Action On Issues | Meet The Press

1. Democrats used the fillabuster 320 times last year republicans used it 1 time last year

2. Interesting in comparison to your 2018 interview. You flip flop like a fish.

3. As always, Durbin is a hypocrite.

4. I thought they was talking about the SS during ww2

5. If you asshats can't get support from 60 senators on major policy, the policy isn't important enough to pass!!!!!!! Retire you old fart!!!!!!!!!!

6. It's working for Republicans so keep it for us.

7. If the fillabuster keeps the senate from getting productive legislation passed then maybe it should be abolished. If it is gone then maybe both parties would be more willing to work together

8. It's not democratic allowing a party that didn't win the people's votes hold up what the Senators who won want to do. It puts the power in the hands 9 people as oppose to the Senators that won the votes!

   It shouldn't take 9 members from the other party to bypass a filibuster! That stops anything from getting done! Reduce the amount to 4. It should only take 4 reasonable members from the other party to change their mind after arguments are made to overturn a filibuster not 9. Change the filibuster from 41 to 46!

9. If the Democratic leadership caves on this filibuster issue most of us will lose complete trust in the entire party

10. Step aside Mitch..

11. I thought the thumbnail was Mr. Roper

12. the the, the the

13. 4 It was destroyed, the earth fell; got sick, the world fell; the high peoples of the earth fell ill. 5 And the land was polluted under its inhabitants; because they violated the laws, they distorted the law, they broke the everlasting covenant. 6 For this reason the curse consumed the land, and its inhabitants were laid waste; for this cause the inhabitants of the earth were consumed, and men were diminished.
    7 The wine is lost, the vine is diseased, all the merry of heart groaned.
    8 The rejoicing of the tambourines has ceased, the noise of those rejoicing has ceased, the joy of the harp has ceased.
    9 They will not drink wine with singing; cider will be bitter to those who drink it.
    10 The city is broken by vanity; every house has been closed, so that no one can enter.
    11 There are cries for lack of wine in the streets; all joy was darkened, joy was banished from the earth.
    12 The city was desolate, and the gate was broken down with ruin.
    13 For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the peoples, like a shaken olive tree, like gleanings after the harvest.

14. Getting sick and tired of the republicans and their attempts to hold onto power no matter what. SO SICK AND TIRED OF IT ALL!

15. Time for Dems to act like kindergarten: get rid of the filibuster. Republicans needed it so badly, in the future!

16. Joe Manchin's support for the filibuster – making for 51 votes against a rule change – prevents its repeal. Note that, when Trump attempted to include border wall funding in appropriations for 2019, then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ruled out repealing the filibuster to get it passed. Democrats should follow the same standard for legislation.

17. Republicans will never work with the democrats, its not in their DNA to be bipartisan, they will frustrate every effort to help the working class and the poor of this country because that's not who they work so I implore these spineless corporate democrats to strengthen their spine and confront this once in a life time catastrophe or two years from now they will all be wiped out ,they will loose the house and senate sits if they don't act now.

18. take that power thats what we voted for and we worked hard to get it for you , do not take this sitting down DEMOCRATS ,

19. when they lose control of the ball they want the rules stay as is perpetuating their power. but if they had the ball in their hands they would crush and pass things as in judicial empowerment, loading the supremecourt in their last days of majority and a soon to be fired president.. It is time we play the game under our rules we won and we should stop being nice to these back stabbers

20. Democrats are so disappointing. You have the power use it. The Republicans used it the pass that massive tax Bill, they also used it to repeal Obamacare. And would have done it had not been for Senator McCain. But now here comes the spineless Democrats with their gutless approach. I'm not surprised one bit, the only time Republicans want to work together is when they're not in power

21. "If taxpayers want better results from Congress, they must stop paying their elected officials for failure. After all, you get what you pay for." — Jim Cooper U.S. Representative – (D-TN 5th District)

22. "We should consider…" means we won't do it. Namby pamby Democrats. And they wonder why they consistently lose mid-term elections. Hopeless.

23. Every time Democrats use the Nuclear Option it blows up in their face.
    Please! Do it again!
    Never learn…

24. The filibuster is being used to stop the will of the people. That's literally the opposite of it's intended purpose it's there so a rouge senate and president can't go against the will of the people. We should end it we need so many reforms in so many area's it's a decent start.

25. If the Democrats really want to move forward then the obstacle needs to be removed so get rid of the filibuster. Bi-partisan is a load of Bs for real, it didn't work for President Obama and it's not going to work for President Biden.

26. Republicans will klll the bill because they won't co-operate with the democrats ever. Too bad about the people suffering but Republican needs are greater right. Nothing has changed. All the Republican senators want is POWER.

27. Filibuster is existential to Republicans right now. Voting rights and DC statehood getting past McConnell right now will be GAME OVER. The current Republican platform will have to be dismantled and reformed into something that attracts a majority of American voters, not just gerrymandered districts and rural states.
