Can Republicans Defend Against A Naked Power Grab?
Democrats are planning to overthrow the fillibuster. But the change itself can be fillibustered. Do Republicans have the stones to stop it, or have they already forgotten the lessons of November 2?
We have heard the old adage that if we forget the past, history will repeat itself. What we are witnessing today is a power grab to advance an ideology, pure and simple. A power grab by an arrogant, condescending group of individuals who do not wish to be restrained by the confines put in place by our Founding Fathers.
Individuals who feel they are superior to the greatest collection of minds in the history of human kind.
The good news for conservatives is that under current Senate rules, a rule change itself could be filibustered, and in this case votes from three fifths of Senators would be required to break the filibuster filibustering a bill to remove filibusters.
After witnessing the performance of certain Republicans this past week, the question is can Mitch McConnell find 41 GOP Senators willing to make a stand?
