Congressman James Clyburn must be listened to NOW!
Why?
Because he has the only plan to go around the trump

Qanon ( What Is Qanon?),
republican congress to your better lives, safety and prosperity!
“You can’t filibuster the budget,”
Clyburn said.
“That’s why we have reconciliation rules.
We need to have civil and voting rights
reconciliation.
That should have had reconciliation permission a
long, long time ago.”
First
I am sure that you know that the party of
(Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald W. Reagan and Senator John McCain),
is no more?
This is the Qanon republicans fight with the trump
republicans for control and the remaining republicans are licking their wounds
while just following their new leaders!
James Clyburn (Democratic Party) is a member of the U.S. House, representing South
Carolina's 6th Congressional District.
The reality of their slim majority and the
regularity of legislation dying through filibuster has caused Democrats to opt
to pass the Biden administration’s Covid relief package through a budgetary
process called reconciliation, which is not subject to the filibuster-proof
60-vote threshold. Clyburn wants to see the same thing with civil rights.
“You can’t filibuster the budget,”
Clyburn said.
“That’s why we have reconciliation rules.
We need to have civil and voting rights
reconciliation.
That should have had reconciliation permission a
long, long time ago.”
He noted:
“If the headlines were to read that the John R
Lewis Voting Rights Act was filibustered to death it would be catastrophic.”
Landmark US bill to 'stop voter suppression' passes
first hurdle in House
Clyburn’s comments underscore the difficulty the
federal government has in moving any bill because of arcane legislative
roadblocks. Broadly popular proposals like a minimum wage increase or a voting
rights bill seem dead on arrival. And that has left veteran Senate Democrats
skeptical that even a bill protecting Americans’ rights to vote has a chance.
First, the filibuster would have to go, and that
seems unlikely at the moment.
“The short-term prospects of doing away with the
filibuster seem remote just because there aren’t the votes to do that,”
said Luke Albee, a former chief of staff to the
Democratic senators Mark Warner of Virginia and Pat Leahy of Vermont.
“My gut is
it will take six months, eight months, a year of total obstructionism on the
Republican side for senators who are skeptical now of getting rid of the
filibuster to at least have a more open mind about it.”
Albee also said it was possible that a Voting
Rights Act could face strong Republican opposition, despite Clyburn’s
confidence.
“There’s no one that hopes it passes more than me
but I just worry it’s a toxic environment,” Albee added.
