Schumer eyes bypassing filibuster for third bill

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is looking at whether he could pass a third bill this year through reconciliation, an arcane budget process that lets Democrats avoid the legislative filibuster.

Schumer’s staff recently argued to the parliamentarian that they could use Section 304 of the Congressional Budget Act, which greenlights the use of reconciliation, to tee up passing at least a third bill this year by a simple majority, an aide for the New York Democrat confirmed.

"The parliamentarian would need to rule in his favor" pls stop the misinformation that the parliamentarian matters at all

The Filibuster is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural...

Just look at these people. WHO WOULD VOTE FOR

Looks like parliamentarian is becoming the most powerful person in the country

Do it! The infrastructure bill is wildly popular. Do popular things and Americans will appreciate it. Do nothing, and Americans will remember it come election time. It's a no brainer.

Are they going to defer to the parlimentarian?

@TheHill reconciliation is arcane but the filibuster is unequivocal?

Anyone else digging the choice of music on this video? 😁

Here's my question: If pretty much everything decided/voted on in The House can get passed by just a 1 vote majority, then why is that not the case for The Senate/why do they need the filibuster?

I love the "style" of this video. Would love to know what editing software was used to make it.

Who are these people who are in charge!? We need to get them OUT!

[rickshawwheelchair]

Only because the timing, they can't pass their radical un-American changes with the filibuster (that they ALL have used)

[Charlie_Loves]

Make dc a state. I’m so tired of two moderate “democrats” having a say in our minimum wage + numerous other agendas that need to be voted and passed.

[UllyrWuldan]

Go ahead. Give up your only defense against what we'll do in 2023+ lol.
