Chuck Schumer says this rule change would be narrow and only apply to the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. New rule needs 50 votes to execute. It does not have 50 votes. https://t.co/HMazuvqgKc — PolitiTweet.org

The talking filibuster would set up a test of wills. Onus would shift from a majority (to find 60 votes to proceed) to a minority (to hold the floor to block bill). Eventually one of two things happens 1) Majority leader pulls the bill 2) Minority stops talking, Senate votes — PolitiTweet.org

@billscher Completely different. Under existing rules the minority doesn’t have to talk. This would force them to either talk or enable to bill to move forward with 51 — PolitiTweet.org
