Stacey Abrams: We Need A Carve-Out For The Filibuster To Protect Our Democracy
Voting rights activist Stacey Abrams calls on Democrats to fight voter suppression and calls on all Americans to protect free and fair elections. ‘We need folks to call your senators,’ Abrams tells Joy Reid. ‘Tell them that you need us to restore the Senate, and that we need to do a carve out for the filibuster to protect our democracy.’

Joe Manchin Probably Shocked, Maybe Embarrassed, That (His) Voting Rights Bill Got No GOP Votes.
Rachel Maddow reports on the voting rights bill that Senate Republicans filibustered to failure, and points out that this was the bill that Joe Manchin wrote (himself) in place of the Democratic bill because he said Republicans would vote for it and not use the filibuster.
No Republicans voted for it.

1. Joe Manchin wrote his own voting rights bill that he claim would get republican votes.
2. Every Senate republican voted against Joe Manchin's voting rights bill.
3. Let me repeat that one more time:
Every Senate republican voted against Joe Manchin's voting rights bill.
4. I wonder what Joe Manchin is going to do next.

State Lawmakers Attacks on Voting Rights
More voter restriction laws were passed in 2021 than any other year in the last decade, and it
doesn't look like it'll be stopping any time soon. Republican state lawmakers are floating legislation
that would establish election security police forces, and hundreds of mail-in ballot applications are
being rejected under Texas' new restrictive voting law.

Two Recent Filibuster--Exceptions Expose Lie of Filibuster as Insurmountable Hurdle.
Rachel Maddow points out that not only was an exception to the filibuster made for raising the debt ceiling but two weeks ago an exception was made for a random Republican amendment. If exceptions are so simple, what was all that fuss for months about the filibuster being too sacrosanct to tamper with?
Another name for (filibuster carve-out)
is (Filibuster exception)
