Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Senator Cotton claimed that all Senate rules have been modified through a supermajority rule process. I encouraged him to read up on Senate history, because that's just not the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Under Sen. Byrd, the Senate changed the interpretation of existing rules 9 times outside the formal process. And Sen. Cotton himself voted to change the rules by a simple majority, when the GOP changed rules to push through SCOTUS noms and then speed up judicial confirmations. — PolitiTweet.org
