by slave holding states that allows the majority (them at the time) to rule the body with the hard-to-achieve 60-vote threshold.

It's worked all these years and silly a-hole imposters like Sinema grandstands on it's alleged glories to enrich herself and assure she'll get a plum lobbying position on K Street after AZ Dems toss her out in '24.

She's on of those worst person in the world types.

She knew she was betraying the Arizona Democrats who supported and voted for her, but didn't give a fuck.
