MD-Sen: Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D) Calls For Abolishing The Filibuster To Pass The $15 Minimum Wage

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen’s (D. MD) re-election campaign: Americans should not be robbed of a living wage by archaic Senate rules and procedures—including the filibuster. We must increase the minimum wage, and I’ll keep pushing until we get it done. pic.twitter.com/ymfS056bux — Senator Chris...

Dear President Biden, we're also disappointed

Are we not distracted enough by bombing targets in Syria to know that the White House will do better than the “best path forward”. Pelosi indicates bill expected to pass House Friday will include wage hike. Then that means the Senate will strip it out next week. And assuming Senate...

Crowd source request: can someone provide some better discussion on the history of the filibuster?

I’ve seen general pieces about the filibuster and its history, and so let me be specific that I am asking for commentary that is a little deeper, or granular. My question is simple — I’’m old enough to have been politically aware since the Ford/Carter years, and for most of my life the...

Why McConnell wants to keep the filibuster

It really has little to do with most legislation. Hell, he might not even whip his caucus on a lot of what Biden wants to do. Although he might want to filibuster on raising taxes. What Mitch really cares about, what he views as his legacy, is his packing of...

Greg Sargent reminds us how easy it is to provide at least a limited reform of the filibuster.

Let me begin by saying that I am strongly for eliminating the legislative filibuster entirely. But certain Democratic Senators, most notably Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), have made it clear that they will not vote to remove the legislative filibuster and, thus, at least for now, Democrats lack the votes to end...
