Biden against making changes to filibuster, Psaki says
By Brett Samuels - 03/08/21 12:58 PM EST


President Biden is against changing the rules around the legislative filibuster in the Senate, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday, even as the rule presents a roadblock to key agenda items.

"His preference is not to make changes to the filibuster rules," Psaki said at a briefing with reporters. "And he believes that with the current structure that he can work with Democrats and Republicans to get work and business done. He’s also happy to hear from Sen. Manchin and others who have ideas about how to get the business done for the American people."

Psaki was asked multiple times about whether Biden would support ending the filibuster, or enacting changes that would make it more difficult to block legislation. In each case, Psaki indicated the president was opposed to tweaking the filibuster.


"His preference is not to make different changes to the rules, to the filibuster rules," Psaki said.

When reporters noted the filibuster could hold up legislation on issues like voting rights and civil rights, Psaki argued that such bills should be able to garner bipartisan support.

So Biden and democrats are saying the filibuster won't be eradicated as long as Republicans play ball and the Democrats get what they want.  A veiled threat, play ball or the filibuster goes away.

Watch for the reversal as soon as they want to pass their anti-gun legislation.

It's not up to you, Sloe Joe.  Besides, Biteme would happily sign any bill that comes his way after the filibuster is destroyed.  Bullshit posturing by the lying Ginger.

So Biden says he is against something means he fully supports it 100%.  Biden makes Obama look honest, and all I ever heard was if his lips are moving he is lying in regard to Obama.  And unlike Obama/Biden, Trump was thought of as lying frequently, but his lies did not hurt the people involved, like you can keep your plan, keep your daughter, and we are going to grow jobs, and the first act our of the gun is eliminate 11,000 high paying union jobs.

Men of integrity in politics, that is as big an oxymoron as exists.

This should be no surprise to anyone. Traitor Joe has been a lying gaffe machine for almost 50 years.
