The Senate GOP Should Call The Democrats’ Bluff

Kurt Schlichter, Townhall

We tell the Democrats that they’ve got a choice about the filibuster as to whether it gets

eliminated, but not when it gets eliminated. If they don’t take the deal, they’re essentially saying they’re going to nuke it themselves when it’s to their advantage, making it to our advantage to preemptively strike. But if they want to make the filibuster effectively permanent, we can do that. They get to choose whether we have a filibuster, but if they choose not to, they get fili-busted. GOP senators, call their bluff.
