Sen. McConnell just cited James Madison to defend the rule allowing 41 of 100 senators to stop a majority from voting on the #FreedomtoVoteAct. He should read these words by Madison in Federalist 58, opposing such provisions: https://t.co/OayTlrAsZN — PolitiTweet.org

The claim that the filibuster rule promotes bipartisanship flies in the face of the reality we witness every day. In fact, the filibuster has become a partisan political weapon & each day we maintain this undemocratic rule we prevent our democracy from working as it was intended. https://t.co/rVE8dTAcvp — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s talk abt the hypocrisy of the GOP bringing up what the “Founders intended.” The Founders never intended for 41 Senators – a minority – to have power to block the will of 59 Senators – the majority – on legislation. We’ve got it in writing from Madison & Hamilton themselves. https://t.co/nhspsMUSTi — PolitiTweet.org
