With Susan Collin's vote, isn't this a sure thing?
Can the ACLU step in afterwards? At least to slow it down so we can have a safe midterm vote?

(5,440 posts)That's probably the safest bet.
Otherwise, I don't know. They don't have much time to pass this and actually implement it for 2026. It would already cause chaos for November and lower courts would issue an injunction to sort out the mess. My guess / hope is they give up when it becomes impractical.

It really does sound like even reliable sources are trying to create urgency to get readers to read their articles. I'm thankful to have DU as a source.

(2,673 posts)Its DOA in the Senate, GOP leadership already said that any attempt to kill the filibuster will be opposed by most republican Senators. Thats why the felon says hell do it via executive order which would of course be meaningless.

(6,687 posts)Thom Hartmann just gave an update on his show, saying that instead of trying to pass it as a stand-alone bill which means Dems can filibuster it, pukes are now going to attach it to something else that "has" to pass to make it filibuster proof. Some/many puke female senators have come out in support.
