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

Don’t be fooled: the filibuster is NOWHERE to be found in our Constitution. But you know what is? Clear rules for when a 2/3 vote is required. The Founders specified those cases where a supermajority vote is required. It doesn't apply to passing bills like the #FreedomToVoteAct. https://t.co/wEeuZEqeVR — PolitiTweet.org
