Clyburn: Allowing filibuster to be used to deny voting rights would be 'catastrophic'
By Aris Folley - 03/07/21 10:55 AM EST

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said in a new interview that allowing the filibuster to be used to deny voting rights would be “catastrophic” as a sweeping elections bill awaits consideration in the Senate.

“There’s no way under the sun that in 2021 that we are going to allow the filibuster to be used to deny voting rights. That just ain’t gonna happen. That would be catastrophic,” Clyburn told The Guardian in an interview published Sunday, just days after the House voted largely along party lines to pass The For The People Act, also known as H.R. 1.

While Clyburn clarified that he is not “going to say that you must get rid of the filibuster,” he said the party “would do well to develop a Manchin-Sinema rule on getting around the filibuster as it relates to race and civil rights.”

The comments come after Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have been criticized by liberals over their opposition to certain issues supported by some on the left, including eliminating the filibuster. The lawmakers were also recently among the seven Democrats this past week who voted against a proposal to increase hourly federal minimum wage to $15.

“If Manchin and Sinema enjoy being in the majority, they had better figure out a way to get around the filibuster when it comes to voting and civil rights,” Clyburn told The Guardian.

The ignorant opinion of the non-Senator is duly noted.   :police:

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Non-citizens.
Felons.
People who already voted on one state and still want to vote in another.
Permanent government dependents,
Illiterates.
Morons.
Inner-city school dropouts.
Social justice warriors.

You know.... Democrats.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Heh.
Only a few minutes ago -- before I saw this thread or read Clyburn's comments above -- I put up this short post in another thread:

You mean like your Democrat Party already did?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

The democrats are seeking out every instance whereby the law can get in their way of dictatorial power, and demonizing it with rationalizations and subterfuge.
How well the democrats playing the devils advocate/ally know the devils in the details.
