Senator Chuck Schumer is vowing to change the rules on the filibuster if Democrats don’t get their way on their so-called “voting rights” bill that’s actually just an attempt to federalize elections.
“I would ask you to consider this question: if the right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, then how can we in good conscience allow for a situation in which the Republican Party can debate and pass voter suppression laws at the State level with only a simple majority vote, but not allow the United States Senate to do the same?” Schumer wrote in a letter to Democrat colleagues.
“I believe our constituents deserve to know which Senators choose to hide behind ill-conceived and abused rules. Therefore … Members will be given the chance to debate on the Senate floor and cast a vote so that their choice on this matter is clear and available for everyone to see,” Schumer continued.
Of course, he’s only saying this now that the filibuster is inhibiting his radical agenda. As far back as in 2005 he was singing as completely different tune, saying that eliminating the filibuster would be “doomsday for democracy.”

As it pertains to the Dems’ “voting rights” bill, he’s actually correct there.
