abolish the filibuster


The GOP majority in the senate took the entirely justified and necessary action to do away with the filibuster in the process of senate confirmation of a Supreme Court justice. The looney left had no desire of fulfilling the constitutional requirement of vetting the nominee. Before President Trump even nominated anyone, the looney left had already determined that they would vote against ANYONE that President Trump nominated, with no regard or intention of even evaluating the nominee’s credentials.

The GOP should also do away with the legislative filibuster as well. It is totally ridiculous that 41 senators can dictate to and subvert the desire of a majority of 59 senators. The laws of the United States should reflect the will of the majority (not the will of the minority). If there are 51 senators that want to enact a law, then the law should be enacted. Of course, there should be discussion about a bill before it becomes law, and if the concerns of the minority can be addressed, then that should increase the likelihood that the law will be better. The only thing that the filibuster accomplishes is to ensure that the senate cannot enact new legislation. Combined with this is the fact that the looney left (hate trump) senators are not at all interested in enacting useful or necessary legislation if it conflicts with their primary goal of opposing everything in the Trump agenda.
