President Trump recently urged Republican senators get rid of the filibuster, or the thing in place in Congress by which one senator can block most legislation if it has under 60 votes. And people are wondering if they should. If it were to be eliminated, more things would get passed in favor of improving the country (assuming that’s what most Senators and Congresspeople want to do when they draft or vote for a bill, which I do).
My instinct is still that we should have a filibuster. Here’s why:
The rate of elapse would be much higher. Like blocks of paper being moved through an assembly line, it would be like ‘whoosh’ a bunch of consecutive times with all the legislation getting passed. That can actually churn the idea of America too quickly in peoples’ minds instead of holding it steady.
That’s why I think we shouldn’t eliminate the filibuster.
