Schumer ramps up filibuster fight ahead of Jan. 6 anniversary
By Jordain Carney - 01/04/22 06:00 AM EST

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is leaning into a fight on changing the Senate’s legislative filibuster, as Democrats try to use the Jan. 6 attack anniversary to inject new momentum into their quest to change the chamber’s rules.

Supporters of changing the 60-vote hurdle required for most legislation to pass the Senate face hurdles because Democrats need total unity from their 50-member caucus. But Democrats are hoping that tying the voting rights discussions to the looming one-year mark of the Capitol attack will sway key holdouts.

Schumer, who is under heavy pressure from his own caucus and outside groups, is vowing to bring the rules change discussions to a head in a matter of weeks.

This is the final hill.....  The final battle.

Ditching the filbuster rule (temporarily even on a false flag effort as this) will give them a straight up vote opportunity to pass revised voting rights laws that will mimic voting much like you'd add tiny pieces of paper in a tumbling sweepstakes bin at the supermarket.

Federalizing election laws as the dims see and plan, will institutionalize and legalize electoral fraud.

Our days as a Republic will BE OVER!!!!!!

Yes, and there is no guarantee that, once they get a taste for it, they won't expand the anti-filibuster rule to all other manner of progressive legislation, which they will rush to pass prior to the midterm elections.

It could be a very long, hot summer this year.
