“THE BOTTOM LINE IS VERY SIMPLE
THE IDEOLOGUES IN THE SENATE (REPUBLICANS)
WANT TO TURN WHAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS
CALLED THE COOLING SAUCER OF DEMOCRACY (FILIBUSTER)
INTO THE RUBBER STAMP OF DICTATORSHIP
WE WILL NOT LET THEM
THEY WANT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THEIR
WAY ON EVERY JUDGE
TO CHANGE THE RULES IN MIDSTREAM. TO WASH AWAY 200 YEARS OF HISTORY THEY
WANT TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY INTO A BANANA
REPUBLIC WHERE IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR WAY
YOU CHANGE THE RULES ARE WE GOING TO LET
THEM—CHUCK SCHUMER, 2005; “THE FILIBUSTER IS NOT DEMOCRACY AND MUST BE ELIMINATED”—CHUCK SCHUMER, 2022
