Title: Sinema Crushes Biden's Dreams to Kill Filibuster
Post by: Eupher on June 03, 2021, 09:01:21 AM
Even though she's a Dem, I am really beginning to like this lady. Not only did she vote a great big "GFY" in the $15 minimum wage BS sham, she is apparently a stalwart in the question of adhering to the filibuster - the absence of which she knows would bite the Dems in the ass down the road.

This is her response to the overall question, which is spot f'n on:

Quote
“Rather than allowing our country to ricochet wildly every two to four years, back and forth between policies,” Sinema explained the filibuster was created to help senators find comity and work together in a bipartisan way. “When you have a system that is not working effectively,” she declared, “The way to fix that is to change your behavior, not to eliminate the rules, or change the rules, but change your behavior.”

Her downside is her vote to convict DJT in the 2nd impeachment trial. But I guess she had to pick her battles carefully, knowing that the votes would not be there to convict anyway.

During her campaign, she seemed like another airhead blonde liberal female, albeit one that is atypically fairly good looking. Maybe she actually uses her brain.

She also voted against the Green New Deal and the $15 minimum wage so she knows how to do math.  I believe she will remain opposed to removing the filibuster.  A liberal, sure, but she seems to believe in the Republic and marches to her own tune.
