Democratic divisions threaten Biden's voting push
By Jordain Carney - 06/03/21 06:00 AM EDT

Democrats are facing significant internal stumbling blocks to getting their voting rights legislation through the Senate, as President Biden calls on Congress to get the bill to his desk.

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is driving Democrats toward a fight later this month on a sweeping election reform bill that, among other provisions, would aim to expand access to the ballot by creating nationwide election standards.

But divisions in the 50-member Senate Democratic caucus, coupled with disagreement on what to do about the Senate's filibuster rules, are lowering the odds that a bill makes it to the White House.

“We’re going to have to sit down at the table and see what it takes,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said about how the caucus can coalesce behind the For the People Act, known S. 1, ahead of a vote this month.

Democrats view the legislation as a top priority as GOP state legislatures across the country introduce, debate and pass bills to place new limits on voting.

HR-1 and S-1 are unconstitutional anyway but the DCP doesn't let the Constitution hinder their communist agenda.

SB-1 as a passed law would be a great opportunity for states to finally tell the federal government to stick their nonstop power grabs up their arse.

If Pennsylvania, etc can ignore court orders which are Constitutionally based then ignoring court mandates that are not should be easy.

Well of course.
Liberals have taught the Republicans to just say NO, to the Feds.
Liberal States have demonstrated that there are no consequences to refusing to follow Federal Laws, Rules, or Orders.
Republicans can do whatever they want to do. Just say, "Nah, I don't think so." What is Biden going to do? Nothing!
