On the Filibuster The great Ross Douthat of the New York Times editorial page has a superb essay up on the Democratic Party’s obsession with changing the rules for the filibuster, a legislative tactic they felt was not at all anti-democratic when they were in the minority in during the Trump Administration. Putting aside the nation’s capital pastime of hypocrisy, Douthat suggests that beleaguered (but standing tall) West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin nuance his position a little and advocate for a 55 vote requirement to end a filibuster.
