Dianne Feinstein Backs Nuclear Option

Jacob Bliss 20 Mar 2021

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) released a statement Friday night showing her flip-flopping on her original opposition to eliminating the filibuster, now saying she is supportive of using the nuclear option to end it.

Feinstein stated, “There are many significant issues Congress needs to address,” including the “gun violence, violence against women and hate in the tragic shootings in Atlanta.”

Feinstein continued to mention she has tried for multiple years to pass “key legislation” on “background checks for gun purchases” and the “reauthorization of the Violence Against Woman Act.”

“Ideally the Senate can reach bipartisan agreement on those issues, as well as on a voting rights bill,” she wrote in a press release. “But if that proves impossible and Republicans continue to abuse the filibuster by requiring cloture votes, I’m open to changing the way the Senate filibuster rules are used.”

Feinstein pointed out President Joe Biden’s shift this week by endorsing a “talking filibuster,” writing that it is “worth discussing.” The California Democrat does not want to dismiss the years of “Senate tradition.” Still, she believes “one party should be able to prevent votes on important bills by abusing the filibuster”:

On youtube fox posted democrats got their way defunding the cops, and homicides went up 2,000%.  Even a blind man can see the direction the socialist-Communist democrats are taking us.  Turning the capital into an armed fortress is another clue.  The House of the people, people not allowed, by another convenient invented crisis.
