Lankford says that the Democrats over the last 6 years filibustered "589 bills [pause] and nominations” that’s half-true. the vast majority of that tally was cloture votes on trump nominees, which passed with 51 yeas. apples and oranges at this point. https://t.co/p0gfMV7yKW — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

again, Schumer’s proposal that they’re going to vote on is not about "eliminating the filibuster," like Manchin just claimed. It’s to have the GOP keep the floor to block a voting rights bill instead of needing to win over 10 GOP senators — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

manchin frames the filibuster as a check on the executive branch. and he’d be right if it still applied to presidential nominees. it does not and so the legislative branch is now much weaker as a result. — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Manchin says that he wants to keep the debate going on voting rights for real, let the GOP offer up amendments, and actually keep this business before the Senate. The problem, though, is one that he’s yet to answer: there’s a time limit as more states pass disenfranchisement laws — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

none of what Manchin is saying is an argument against the rule that Schumer has proposed, which is putting the onus on the minority to sustain a filibuster versus needing 60 votes to cut off a debate — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin’s argument is that the states are a set of 50 experiments in democracy, where the federal government learns from them and they learn from the federal government. well…about that. https://t.co/EQ4zDxYXGm — PolitiTweet.org

@fredbauerblog it’s quaint to go back and read the fuss over Bush’s judges in 2003 and the filibuster of them. (also fun to see people argue that the number of cloture votes (which passed!) for judges under Trump means that Democrats are just as obstructionist as the GOP.) — PolitiTweet.org

voters: we want less DIVISION in washington. BIPARTISANSHIP is good!! also voters: we want VERY SPECIFIC THINGS that are ANATHEMA to the other party!! — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

this is annoyingly true, especialy given the way most Americans also want the people they voted for to do the things they promised during the election, especially those who made it through GOP primaries — PolitiTweet.org

@fredbauerblog i feel like there’s gotta be a midway point between “zero amendments” and “using the amendment process to delay and/or using dilitory amendments to embarrass the majority party” on this front also, imo, bring back earmarks and trading votes for highways or whatever — PolitiTweet.org
