Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin still support the filibuster. A year of pressure and lobbying by Democratic colleagues, party leaders, activists—and lately President Biden—to persuade them to change Senate rules to enable passage of two major voting bills has not worked. — PolitiTweet.org

Kyrsten Sinema: "There's no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation... It is the view I continue to hold." No equivocation. This position means the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act are toast. — PolitiTweet.org

Kyrsten Sinema says she will "strongly support" legislative responses to assure free/fair elections and counter restrictive state laws. She names the Freedom To Vote Act and John Lewis. But she makes clear he still support the 60-vote filibuster rule for legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

SINEMA: "Where does this descending spiral of division lead, and how can we stop it?" She says divisions have fueled laws that'll make it harder for Americans to vote. "These state laws have no place in a nation whose government is formed by free, fair, and open elections." — PolitiTweet.org

Susan Collins defends the filibuster: “We are now on the brink of heading down that dangerous road, a slippery slope toward a tyranny of the majority.” In 2017 Collins voted to nuke the 60-vote rule for SCOTUS; she also wrote a letter signed by many Dems to protect it for bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Covering the Senate, one of the most striking things about the modern filibuster is the nature of exceptions. For e.g.: you can put a justice on the Supreme Court to serve for a lifetime with 51 votes, but you need 60 to pass a stopgap bill to keep the gov't funded for a week. — PolitiTweet.org
