Yes, what they are trying to do is bad, but note that it needs 60 in the senate to pass the filibuster

Senate Dems were pretty vocal against it last year when they tried to get that through. Still make sure to call your senator and tell them to vote no on cloture for it, but don't preemptively doom about it passing the house

So was Chuck before he flip-flopped to kiss ass for Trump.

I hope they remain consistent on this.
