Schumer a no and Democrats will filibuster

well, the base wouldn't accept it i guess...

OR

democrats just don't trust mcconnell.

Nailed it. McConnell is the slimiest, least trustworthy individual in Washington

are you sure? there's a lot of competition

Republicans will say Democrats started it, and Democrats will say Republicans started it.

I say it doesn't matter who started it.

Cause Dems like to lie...

Says the guy who supports a party whose President of the United States is a pathological liar.

klartext herself is, too, don't bother

Alot of lefties on twitter and Reddit seem to be really freaking out over this but im not sure why. The filibuster has been abused to point that it lost its purpose. That means its best for the health of our representative republic to get rid of it. If the healthcare bill failing is proof of anything, even partisanship fails when a proposal is bad enough, and thats the way it should be. I hope the legislative filibuster goes next.

You have the luxury of assuming Congress will never pass anything you deem "bad enough", lucky you but not all of us are in that position.

Well yeah, but I dont consider republicans to be evil cartoon villains so...

Let's now put 10 20-something year-old judges on the Court who will be willing to not only overturn Roe v. Wade, but also say that all first-degree murder laws apply to the killing of babies nationwide.  Ending abortion is more important than our system of government itself.  I'm serious!

Ten?  But there are only nine seats!

Sorry!  Your understanding of the Court is about as good as your understanding of chicken eggs.

Nothing says there has to be nine.  If we appoint ten more right now, those ten can be so conservative that they can overrule the other nine (Clarence Thomas would look like RBG next to these hypothetical ten).

You have totally f---ing lost it.

There's one good thing coming out of this. It's given me a reason to place Extreme Parody on my ignore list.
