FROM THE OFFICES OF NOE, CHITT, AND SHERLOCK:
Sinema and Manchin, McConnell Will Clean Your Clocks When He Crushes the Filibuster
EXCERPT:
"It will come as a surprise to Senator Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, adamant opponents of ending the filibuster, that Mitch McConnell will lead a simple majority to dismantle the filibuster if the Republicans retake the Senate in 2022. It must be re-emphasized that until now McConnell has engaged in bombastic and smug defense of the filibuster.
McConnell will do what Sinema and Manchin won’t do in order to placate a minority of white privilege advocates in Congress. He will pass individual exceptions for various bills. He has already shown that he is willing to be ruthless with bypassing the filibuster as he did when ruthlessly stacking the Supreme Court with simple majorities.
Furthermore, the Republicans are positioning themselves for minority rule for years through voter theft, the hijacking of election boards, gerrymandering and control of the federal courts. So, if it came down to it, McConnell might even vote to do away with the filibuster altogether on the assumption that the Democrats will not be regaining control of the Senate anytime soon. "
