He doesn’t understand that the Dems will axe the filibuster, and he will be blamed for losing the country, cause he’s either that naive or dumb

The current Senate, and the way Senators are elected, in no way even REMOTELY resembles what the founders instituted. For that matter, the current understanding of what States are bears absolutely no resemblance to what that term meant to our founders. Thune is a friggin' moron.

I absolutely loathe Thune but even a broken clock is right 2x a day. He is correct with respect to the filibuster. Nuking it was always a terrible idea for the reason he outlined. They still should have fought harder for and brought the SAVE act for a vote.

Majority here wasn’t asking to nuke it but return to the talking filibuster as it was meant to be. It then could have been voted on and passed. He was merely protecting the deep state.

The founders never intended for the Senate to need 60 votes to pass any legislation. The same men who openly rebelled against the crown would have had no problem ditching some stupid procedural rules to save the country

The founders did not give us the filibuster. It’s a senate rule, not a constitutional provision. This is a prime example of pissing on my leg and trying to tell me that it’s raining. And Thune is a weak arse little bitch.

There is no filibuster in the constitution. The framers did not design a system that handcuffed the party in power in perpetuity. The senate is allowed to set its own rules including rules to close debate, but there is nothing in the constitution that declares you need anything more than a simple majority to pass legislation. It is asinine that Repubs have hid behind a procedural rule for 2 years. They have the power to change it.

1) Sorry bastard. He was paid off to not pass the Save Act.

2) And all those other thugs just re-elected him to his position.

3) The biggest idiots on the planet are the ones who don't believe that we have a corrupt government.
