Rick Scott: Dems Need Us for a Quorum, if They Abolish Filibuster ‘Nothing Will Happen’ in Senate

On Friday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Brian Kilmeade Show,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said that if Democrats move to eliminate the filibuster, “nothing will happen in the Senate.” And pointed out Republicans would have to show up in order for the Senate to have a quorum.

Scott said, “I mean, look, if they want to do this, then nothing will happen in the Senate. First off, they need us to show up and have a quorum.”

He added, “They need us there if they want to get something done. And also, on top of that, everything in the Senate is done by unanimous consent. So, we can slow everything down.”

I like Sen. Scott, but I don't have a lot of confidence in Pub Senators when they talk tough. History teaches me they will capitulate after a couple tough weeks.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Scott is milquetoast at best.

All it would take to screw this up is Romney, Sasse, Collins or Murkowski showing up, and we have at least four right there.
