Like I said, they should have include the talking filibuster with the measures that passed. Ending the filibuster could still have been subject to a high-vote threshold, ideally 55 votes. I'd even accept 60.

Fact is that it would be much better to have Senators defend their obstruction for all Americans to see/hear. Better to put the arguments out in the open, and then let Senators defend their vote.

Also, who were the seven Democrats Senator Sanders mentioned?

1. Reid/McConnell should be ashamed, what a joke, they are quite plainly fucking over all

of us. Another crumb sold as a victory.

Gov't is BROKEN, we simply have status quo, disgusting! OBSTRUCTION, the new normal.

Who are the 7 sell-outs? Let's name them and publicize the list of DINO's.

Seems like the real effort is for all of gov't to do absolutely nothing for the next 4 years...while the taxpayers pay their salaries for this dog & pony show. I think we are all sick to death of this, that's what is bipartisan, mutual disgust.

2. Talking filibuster.

These seven Democrats Senators should explain their opposition to removing the 60-vote threshold.

4. Absolutely! K & R, ProSense. We need to know why they sold us all out. nt

5. The seven Democrats were

Mark Pryor, Max Baucus, Patrick Leahy, Joe Manchin, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, and of course Harry Reid. Easy google.
