I voted this morning before I got on the fight.
I voted at 7.15 a.m.
I went to go vote for John Maples because they were hammering.
You're missing the money.
The legislative process?
I always – you've got to trace the money on these things.
First of all, a 60-vote threshold is not in the Constitution.
So that was a rule-making decision I think in 1913 that then kind of – but it is like nowhere in the Constitution.
It says you need 51 votes.
So it is ridiculous.
We have 60.
60-vote threshold.
threshold came along with lobbying.
Why?
Because corporations did not want, think if you're a big pharma company and Elizabeth Warren or someone just goes and gets to drop a bill that says that we need to lower insulin prices and you only need 51 votes and all of a sudden these senators actually really do have to be on record on a vote like that.
When you do the 60 vote threshold and no one's ever had more than I think 56 or 57 of one party, then you can always blame the other side or whoever else and claim this bipartisanship, but really it's a massive corporate lobby trying to keep this filibuster to exist because
These senators would not be able to survive in their jobs if they were actually taking votes that we the people wanted them to take on things such as an 80-20 issue like voter ID.
So then it goes to the Democrats said we will lift the filibuster.
This was to pass H.R.
