Sen. Schumer Says Senate Will Vote on Changes to Filibuster by MLK Day

Published on

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)

NNPA NEWSWIRE — “The weaponization of rules [means that rules] once meant to short-circuit obstruction have been hijacked to guarantee obstruction. We must ask ourselves: if the right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, then how can we in good conscience allow for a situation in which the Republican Party can debate and pass voter suppression laws at the State level with only a simple majority vote, but not allow the United States Senate to do the same? We must adapt,” said Sen. Schumer.
