By The FirstFar-left Senator Elizabeth Warren doubled-down on her demand to eliminate the filibuster this week; saying Democrats must abolish the procedure to “make it easier to join unions.”
“If we need to get rid of the filibuster to protect the right to vote, or pass commonsense gun safety reform, or make it easier to join a union, or make any other badly needed change, then we need to get rid of the filibuster,” posted Warren on Twitter.
Current rules require a 60 vote super majority to pass major legislation through the United States Senate. Eliminating the filibuster would drop the necessary votes to 51.
