The Senate's Nuclear Standoff

This morning, House Democrats passed a bill that combines several election-takeover schemes into one package.  Although the timing is unclear, Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer will use this package to trigger the "nuclear option" to eliminate the legislative filibuster. 

And just like Biden's "Build Back Broke" socialist spending bill, this scheme to nationalize all elections will fail because of divisions on the left.  Progressives don't have 60 votes to pass this terrible bill, and they don't even have 50 votes to nuke the filibuster.  They know that.  So, this is all Kabuki theater, aimed at stoking left-wing rage and racial discord.

Today, it was Kyrsten Sinema's turn to torpedo the left's pipedreams.  Speaking on the Senate floor, she defended the filibuster, saying it was designed to "protect our country from wild reversals of federal policy."

She's right about that.  In fact, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell echoed that sentiment yesterday in a speech blasting Biden's unhinged attack on Georgia's election integrity law.  McConnell said:

"The president's rant yesterday was incorrect, incoherent, and beneath his office. . . A president shouting that 52 Senators and millions of Americans are racist unless he gets whatever he wants is proving exactly why the framers built the Senate to check his power."
