Manchin to support voting rights?? [View all] cilla4progress Jun 2021 OP

He's always supported it Johnny2X2X Jun 2021 #1

Yeah he supports it. piddyprints Jun 2021 #2

Manchin supports a modified HR4 which would be overturned by SCOTUS. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jun 2021 #9

Are you talking about the pre-clearance bill? Mad_Machine76 Jun 2021 #26

Because the version Manchin supports would apply to all 50 states w/o any preclearance. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jun 2021 #27

He's always supported that, but he has big problems with HR1. OnDoutside Jun 2021 #3

I think... Mike Nelson Jun 2021 #4

Yeah but the Biggie is S1, gab13by13 Jun 2021 #5

Will he support democracy enough to end the filibuster and pass JLVRA and S1? lagomorph777 Jun 2021 #6

Sinema, Feinstein and reportedly two others. TwilightZone Jun 2021 #10

I agree - put huge public pressure on all of the recalcitrants. lagomorph777 Jun 2021 #13

Feinstein is open to changes PortTack Jun 2021 #14

Saw Amy K interviewed on TRMS a while back. She remains optimistic about passing some form PortTack Jun 2021 #7

Manchin is supporting a Trojan horse modification of HR4 that will be reversed by SCOTUS Fiendish Thingy Jun 2021 #8

HR1/S1 would also be reversed by SCOTUS FBaggins Jun 2021 #11

Not from what I have read both HR1 and HR4 in its original form, were drafted to withstand Fiendish Thingy Jun 2021 #16

Yes StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #20

Two different arguments FBaggins Jun 2021 #21

But if the filibuster is killed to pass HR1, then courts can be expanded, preventing reversal Fiendish Thingy Jun 2021 #23

That's a bunch of IFs that don't seem likely FBaggins Jun 2021 #24

Let's see what kind of heat the summer brings to Manchin and Sinema first. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jun 2021 #28

So few similar posts seem to be able to tell the difference... FBaggins Jun 2021 #12

Exactly StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #18

He better gives us something, The president is thinking about Hotler Jun 2021 #15

Easy to claim he supports a bill if, through his own inaction, he never has to actually vote on it StarfishSaver Jun 2021 #17

Manchin said he supported the John Lewis Bill months ago brooklynite Jun 2021 #19

I don't trust Manchin. LiberalFighter Jun 2021 #22

It's not HR1 budkin Jun 2021 #25
