Sean Spicer said on his podcast that Trump might want the filibuster killed

Sean Spicer does not know his arse from a hole in the ground.

That would be monumentally stupid.

If the democrats had house, senate, presidency and SC would we as conservatives want the filibuster removed? I would not; I think it’s in place for a reason.

There is no need. If we have all three houses then we have 2 years to pass stuff without it.

This would be a horrible idea.


Just like it was a bad idea for the liberals to start political prosecution. Because the other side will get power back again.

Would be short sighted

Bring back the original version of the filibuster. If you are really passionate against a resolution then set your arse up in the Senate chamber and don’t stop talking until the Senate relents. That’s the real filibuster. Not this modern parliamentary cloture rule filibuster.

No that I can get behind.

Hell, I think the dems were on to something regarding expanding the Supreme Court. I think, now that the democrats showed such bravery bringing that issue into the light, it’s time to pack the court, just as democrats have suggested.

It basically keeps anyone from passing anything controversial in any way unless they have 60 votes.

It needs to be removed and just deal with the flips back and forth.

Why are you guys down voting this? Remember, I am good at solving riddles, playing Chess, seeing into things what others miss.

I will prove 100% The Filibuster is a scheme used by the Elites to screw the average joe and to fleece us the American Taxpayer.. Now of course in the early 1800s they used the 2/3 rule instead of the 60 percent rule 60 out of 100. But they actually used this to create debate and compromise between parties who were usually pretty close on a bill to start with, but these Elitist Senators from both parties have allowed this Filibuster rule to become a prop for hiding from both graft, and responsibility, which is why we now have a UNI-PARTY.

You see, the Public voted the Republicans to have all three Branches of Gov. (It seems like that will be the case) but Schumer and his boys can get their regular GRAFT by simply holding up bills and mandating their pork is in the bill, or there will be no bill. Likewise, if there is something the Republican base really, really want and the Deep State & Elites are against it, they can just say, we don't have 60 votes. That's why it is seem as a UNI-PARTY, they are both working hand in hand no mater who is in control, and they can blame it on the 60 vote rule !!

Used to be that way for Supreme Court Justices until the Dems changed it, but notice, the Republicans usually got played when they had to have 60 votes, Souter was a Liberal, and a lot of the R picks turned out t be really bad. That's because the UNI-PARTY did not want Justices in that would do what the Supreme Court just did recently, dismantling the Deep State in one of its recent rulings about these DC Deep State Workers setting policies that were never passed into law.

Both sides use this 60 vote rule in order so that they are NEVER held accountable unto their bases. That's why the House does the Continuing Resolutions, they know the Senate will never get the 60 votes, so they have to sell out on spending,

Could you see a Big Business having a rule that 75 percent of a board has to agree on any deals they make? The Board votes in a President or Chairman, who hires the right guy and turns him loose. With a 50 vote rule Johnson nor McConnel (are WHOEVER) would have no excuses not to pass legislation their bases wants. BUT WITH THE STUPID 60 VOTE RULE, they never have to own up to this out of control spending, they just say, we couldn't get 60 votes so we had to compromise.

They are PLAYING US FOR SUCKER & FOOLS.
