Former President Barack Obama on Monday called the filibuster a"tool for obstruction" and urged Republican senators not to use it to block a key vote on theto use the filibuster
"Think about this: In the aftermath of an insurrection, with our democracy on the line and many of the same Republican senators going along with the notion that somehow there were irregularities and problems with legitimacy in our most recent election, they're suddenly afraid to even talk about these issues and figure out a solution on the floor of the Senate," Obama said.
Not allowing a vote on a voting rights bill. That's not a filibuster. That's fascism.
johnastoehr We know how well respected he is in GOP circles, so problem solved!
johnastoehr Give me a break. There is nothing even remotely 'sudden' about this. This as been SOP for the GQP for at least the past 30 years.
Yet Obama used it. So is Barry racist?
If a republican thinks there were 'irregularities and problems with legitimacy in our most recent election' they get thrown off social media. But Obama can say this. Either the last election was perfect or it wasnt. 'For the People Act' want to have it both ways. just insincere
Shut up please
when the dems used it ,it was a tool of construction
Not acceptable unless it's the Democrats using the filibuster
He had to live through Mitch’s obstruction on any bill he might sign that is good for Americans for six long years. Obama knows what kind of damage it’s doing to this country. The hate McConnell represents is 4 centuries old. It, and he, have to go.
Why can't the DEMOCRATS use the filibuster
So we want to legalize stealing elections with millions of unverified & unrequested mail in ballots. Anyone supporting this is an imbecile or Marxist or both, 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good one. Thats funny.

GOP slams Biden admin for using tax funds on gender-transition surgery for veteransRepublicans on the Hill are firing back at the news that transgender veterans will soon be able to receive gender transition surgeries through the Veterans Affairs health care coverage. Oh, so republicans DO favor regulations. Huh. This is your reminder that Fox and GOP Elites don't actually care about the troops. They care about the military industrial complex, defence contractors, weapons manufacturers, the powerful who make money from blood. But the actual troops? Nope, they don't care.

It's not just Manchin and Sinema.Democrats are about to face another stress test over the filibuster, triggered this time by a high-priority bill to remake U.S. election laws. It is a misleading headline. NBC is so desperate that it seeks to attract moderate conservatives to read its news with a clear Democratic partisan bias. It won't work
