(12,769 posts)Are there different filibusters?
there is something they can do, called the "nuclear option," which I seem to remember they have pulled up in the past?????
Anyone out there know????????/
Chemical Bill
(2,940 posts)the nuclear option is removing the filibuster. Democrats wanted to do that under Biden, but Manchin and Sinema wouldn't do it.
Chemical Bill
(2,940 posts)Repugs got rid of the filibuster for confirming judges, including the Supreme Court. But that means Democrats could confirm judges too, under Biden. So it seems that Repugs aren't going to remove the filibuster from everything, at least they haven't yet. They don't want Democrats to pass a budget without them....
