A massive betrayal after what he said yesterday. BannonsLiver Mar 2025 #35

Thank-you. So that means the filibuster is essentially out the door. Damn JohnSJ Mar 2025 #69

Yes. The filibuster is the infinite debate which the 60 vote cloture measure brings to a halt. LonePirate Mar 2025 #83

I guess my question then is the cloture on a temporary extension, or on the draconian CR bill? JohnSJ Mar 2025 #87

It doesn't matter ibegurpard Mar 2025 #89

I got it Thanks. It's over. JohnSJ Mar 2025 #91

60 votes are needed for cloture so it's a way to block the vote from being brought to the floor. But once Nanjeanne Mar 2025 #70

Yes. The bill is so bad Ds won't vote for it but I guess not bad enough to stop it from passing even when they have the Nanjeanne Mar 2025 #113

If they refused to vote for cloture, would the rethugs compromise? JohnSJ Mar 2025 #116

Probably not. Maybe. But probably not. But if a shut down happened, there's a way to message the decision Nanjeanne Mar 2025 #117
