Obama Uses John Lewis Funeral to Call for ‘Eliminating the Filibuster’
« on: July 30, 2020, 07:43:15 pm »
Joel B. Pollak 30 Jul 2020

Former President Barack Obama used his eulogy at the funeral of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to call for an end to the Senate filibuster to pass Democrats’ new legislation on voting reform.

Obama said that Republicans had imitated Jim Crow-era restrictions on voting rights, which Lewis marched against, by passing state voter ID laws and other measures that conservatives argue prevent voter fraud.

He urged Congress to pass a new version of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

“You want to honor John? Let’s honor him by revitalizing the law that he was willing to die for,” Obama said, to applause.

Democrats have pushed for a new version of the law, after the Supreme Court invalidated part of it in 2013, saying that it was outdated.

The new version of the law, which has been renamed for Lewis, would restore federal supervision of state efforts to pass new election reforms.

Obama said Democrats should go beyond that legislation and also enact laws making voter registration automatic, granting the vote to ex-convicts, and making Election Day a national holiday, among other changes.

“And if all this takes is ending the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that’s what we should do.”

Ditto.  ALL three of them were very detrimental to this country. 'W' turned out to be an extreme disappointment.

@catfish1957

Dumbya IS the enemy. Has ALWAYS been the enemy. He will remain faithful to his mommy's wishes until the day he dies.

Beats the hell out of having to do all that hard "thinking stuff".

The Bush Crime Family has been in operation for over 100 years now,and make the Clinton's look like raw amateurs by comparison. Hell,one of his uncles or great-uncles,I can't remember which at the moment,plead guilty to laundering money for the Nazi's DURING WW-2 while working as a senior account member for the Harriman Bank!

His "punishment" was to be elected as a US Senator in 1954. Prescott Bush,Sr.

His son,Prescott Bush Jr,was the one Poppy sent to China to open the US-Chinese Chamber of Commerce right after Poppy normalized relations with China.

Dr. Alveda King on John Lewis' funeral: The left will 'grab at any opportunity' to politicize

King says Obama chose to politicize Congressman Lewis' funeral

The left will "grab at any opportunity" to twist an occasion like the funeral of civil rights icon John Lewis into "a political moment," Dr. Alveda King stated Friday.

In an interview on "Fox & Friends," King said that she should have expected former President Barack Obama to "grab at" the chance.

"I have chosen not to politicize the death of Congressman Lewis, but to remember him as a peaceful, nonviolent warrior and encourage everyone to resolve our conflicts peacefully," she remarked..........
