Of course

I don't think there's anything that they care about passing that's more important than their future ability to block things they don't like.

Nope. That'll happen the next time there's a Democratic POTUS and slim Senate majority.

No, but it's not unthinkable that Dems would do it if they take back the Senate. There were grumbling about it in 2010 & 2012.

@jbouie of course, why stop now.

Of course they will. If the GOP wants something, they want it NOW and by ANY means necessary.

Good or bad, the fastest path to a single payer healthcare system is getting rid of the legislative filibuster.

Go ahead & let GOP axe the legis fbuster & then defund Medicaid/constrict Medicare. See how many elections that wins you in the long run.

As a Dem, I sincerely hope they do. GOP legis passed w/o a filibuster would be major bad news for GOP long term.

What next : free elections. No wait, The Russians already did that

And then in 2018 we will VOTE THEM ALL OUT (keep voting rights safe) and ha ha they will be the voiceless minority

Only voted "no" bc it'll happen between 2018 and 2022, not within next year or two

No, it's their only method of keeping far right in check.

No b/c they need an excuse not to pass crazy legislation their partisan base wants.

The filibuster is, in the main, good for conservative ends, so no.

Nyah. I think it gives them too much cover, and they can much more easily see the shoe being on the other foot.
