Schumer plans to sidestep filibuster by expanding Senate reconciliation process

Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer is maneuvering to pass a third bill this year using budget reconciliation, an obscure procedure that sidesteps the filibuster and lets Democrats ram through President Biden’s agenda without the support of a single Republican.

Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat, is proposing to expand the budget reconciliation process, which allows Congress to pass spending, revenue and debt measures with a simple majority of 51 votes.

They shouldn't be allowed to tack anything onto a budget bill that doesn't have to do directly with the budget and certainly not anything that involves the bill of rights.

Exactly.

Eventually we find out some of the bullshit that gets tacked on to these horrendous bills but most of it gets covered up. Any Republican that is still on our side should go public with these huge pork projects and all our money that gets sent overseas each time a bill passes. Too many Americans are too stupid to realize or care how much money is wasted. They think - I got my $2000 so who cares. If they thought about it at all they'd realize that if all the money passed out in the last 2 relief bills was kept here they would've gotten at least $10,000 each instead of someone in another country getting money.

Chuck is a slow learner. He'll cry like a stuck pig when the balance of power shifts again and his own tactics get used against the Dems.

He thinks the Dems will be in charge forever.

The way the last election went they might be right.

Southern Democrats held up 1964 Civil Rights Act for 60 days

When lawmakers want to delay legislation from moving forward, they filibuster. In simple terms, that means they talk for

" The longest continuous debate in U.S. Senate history was brought on by a group of Southern Democrats over the legislation. But many northern Democrats supported the bill, and the filibuster lasted 60 days, not 75, according to the Senate’s website. "

Dem's sure love it back then ..
