Manchin and Sinema should listen to their constituents. Most of them want to
eliminate the filibuster. Nationwide, a majority, not a large majority but a
majority, want it gone. The current filibuster has been repeatedly weakened
since it was strengthened about 150 years ago to protect Jim Crow laws. I
contend that it should go the way of other antidemocratic artifacts. Eric

Tensions are reaching a boiling point in the Senate over the fate of the
legislative filibuster as Democratic support grows for eliminating the
procedural roadblock.
Senators traded barbs on Tuesday, foreshadowing the likely political firestorm
awaiting Democrats if they decide to move forward with reforming the filibuster

that he supports changing the filibuster rules.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) warned that removing the need for
60 votes to advance most legislation would lead to dire consequences.

Every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity,
justice and a voice in our democracy. That requires not only addressing the
multiple crises affecting our country—COVID-19, the economic fallout and
inequity, racial injustice, the climate crisis and threats to our democracy—but
also creating the just and equitable conditions for economic and educational
opportunity for all. The AFT will fight for that freedom to thrive for our
members, our families and our communities—by caring, fighting, showing up,
teaching and voting. Learn
