It sounds like Dems overhauled this so it wouldn’t need 60 votes. How anybody can still take Democrats seriously is literally astounding to me. They go SO FAR out of the way to not abide by the rules or play fairly, it’s honestly disgusting. And why the two parties will never see eye to eye. One screams out “you’re going to cheat and break the rules” WHILE cheating and breaking the rules, and have the audacity to think it’s ok.
What happened here as far as I can see is:
NASA needed a bill for more leasing opportunities. House passed the bill for NASA, which sent it to the Senate. Senate passed the bill for NASA (which is the key part here) at which point it went back to the House. Once there, House Dems then STRIPPED all the NASA provisions (what the whole thing was supposed to be about) thereby completely disregarding NASA all together and replaced it with Voting Rights BS under the guise that since the Senate already “approved” this voting measure, that it wouldn’t need the 60 votes anymore in the Senate, just a simple majority. And their Voter Integrity farce would be forced through.
Any rational person, I don’t care what party, cannot see that and feel good about it. That’s so far out of bounds that the House Dems should be reprimanded. Sickening honestly. How low they go to cheat and carry out tyranny is honestly disturbing
No.
Still needs 60 votes to proceed to a final vote for passage.
only way it passes is if they change the filibuster rules
