“They’re all committed to it now, because Chuck has made them take a public position. Every Democratic challenger, I’m told, running for the Senate is taking the same position,” McConnell said. “I think they fully intend to do it if they can.”

Thanks for advocating for a good reason to have democratic control of the senate

    Pleeeease, don’t threaten us with a good time.

    Seriously, we don’t need a extra layer of inaction on top of a government already designed to move slowly. That’s the whole point of having three branches of government, you already have to compromise even without the filibuster unless you sweep (and at this point a sweep is well deserved!).

    Although I guess I’m ok with the talking version. It’d be fun to watch those old assholes suffer an all nighter speaking non stop. Wouldn’t ever pull it off.
