Let me get this straight: 60-vote threshold was carved up 160 times so senators could pass Trump tax cuts, gas bill & Supreme Ct Justices but when it comes to voting rights, “traditions” & “comity” mean you hug it tight, throw the voters under the senate desks & go home? No way.
@amyklobuchar Would you please knock some sense (metaphorically) into to Sinema and Manchin? They just recently voted to carve out the filibuster to raise the debt ceiling. Why not Voting Rights?
@amyklobuchar I am so sick of people we put in power by our votes holding us back.
@amyklobuchar @mjb729leo Current filibustr exemptions incl judicial & cabinet appts, annual congressionl budget resolutions, taxes, budget reconciliation, trade agreemnts, military base closings, arms sales, regulatory reform—161 in all. WHY NOT CARVEOUT FOR VOTING RIGHTS? What could be more important?
@amyklobuchar Senator I am SCARED to death that our VOTING RIGHTS and our voice is going to be silenced...
@amyklobuchar You forgot to tag @SenatorSinema and @Sen_JoeManchin + the entire @SenateGOP
@amyklobuchar @lugoblah Maybe we should start asking Manchin and Sinema what they are getting for blocking voters rights? There must be a big benefit for them to stop the bill from being passed. 🤔
@amyklobuchar Find out who’s paying @SenatorSinema & @Sen_JoeManchin to vote against protecting voting rights.
@amyklobuchar @BaddCompani What is Simena’s problem? Please explain it to us because we cannot understand. Also, get the media to start hounding the GOP who are ALL against voting rights.
@amyklobuchar Unless you guys start DOING something...our Republic is gone. Sinema and Manchin are getting bankrolled by Koch. I know it, you know it. We are being doomed by greed.
@amyklobuchar No other country has this bizarre rule and they get a lot more things done. The filibuster is just a way to keep the government from working for the people. It’s no wonder the corporate Republicans want it to stay in place.
