Elizabeth Warren Calls Filibuster Racist Months After Filibustering Tim Scott Police Reform Bill<\/a><\/p>\n Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren called the filibuster racist Thursday, months after she filibustered [Black man] Republican Sen. Tim Scott\u2019s\u00a0 police reform legislation.<\/p>\n Sen. Elizabeth Warren said the filibuster is both racist and shouldn\u2019t be permitted in the Senate since it gives the minority veto power, according to Axios. The legislative filibuster, which dates back to the 1800s, is a rule that requires 60 votes for most legislation to pass in the Senate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe filibuster has deep roots in racism, and it should not be permitted to serve that function, or to create a veto for the minority,\u201d Warren told Axios on Thursday. \u201cIn a democracy, it\u2019s majority rules.\u201d<\/p>\n Warren added that the founders didn\u2019t intend for the filibuster to be implemented in Senate legislative procedure, according to Axios. Rather, it was designed to give southern states the ability to veto any anti-slavery or civil rights law they opposed, Warren said.<\/p>\n However, Warren filibustered Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott\u2019s police reform bill in June, CNN analyst Scott Jennings noted. After Democrats blocked his bill, Scott criticized them, saying he was \u201camazed\u201d by their actions.<\/p>\n \u201cIf my colleagues had issues with the legislation, they should have accepted that we were willing to give them multiple amendment votes so that we can make the necessary adjustments to get this across the president\u2019s desk,\u201d Scott said.<\/p>\n Calls to eliminate the filibuster have gained momentum since President Joe Biden took office as legislation continues to pass in the House but stalls in the Senate. Biden along with many congressional Democrats have endorsed removing the procedure.<\/p>\n Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin have repeatedly said they oppose killing the filibuster.<\/p>\n Manchin recently explained that removing the filibuster effectively removes the involvement of the Senate minority in legislating.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If hypocrite demoncraps didn’t have double standards……….
