Senate to "Shelve" Build Back Bolshevik Bill
Democrats Plot Nuking the Filibuster to Take Charge of Voting Laws Throughout Country
.png)
All four of those people are Democrats -- well, except for King, a Maine "Independent" who caucuses with Democrats. So they're not huddling with Republicans working on a compromise. No, they're scheming about a "rule change," with only Democrats involved. What could that be other than a nuclear option vote on the filibuster? And yeah, I did all of that speculating pointlessly, because it is now reported: they're pressuring Manchin to agree to the nuclear option for a "voting rights" bill.

@LACaldwellDC
BIG NEWS: Schumer is likely to push a vote on the Build Back Better plan until next year, according to four sources familiar with the leaders' plans. w/
@JulieNBCNews
He doesn't have the votes as Manchin remains noncommittal Schumer is still holding out hope for action on voting rights this year, multiple sources tell us. They are hoping for agreement on a rules change between four moderates who have been meeting -- Tester, Kaine, King and Manchin 2/ A spokesman to Schumer, however, says they are "still trying to do both."
Senate Democrats are escalating pressure on Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to get behind using the "nuclear option" to change the filibuster and break a months-long stalemate on voting rights legislation. The flurry of talks - including dedicating a closed-door caucus lunch to the issue despite a public focus on passing President Biden's climate and social spending bill - comes as Democrats are facing intense pressure to pass election legislation though there isn't yet a clear path forward. A group of Democrats, tapped by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), met with Manchin Tuesday as part of rolling discussions. But Manchin, simultaneously, is pushing for rules changes to be bipartisan and holding talks with Republicans, who are unlikely to support the sort of reform needed to get voting legislation passed. Underscoring the frustration within the caucus, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) spoke out during the Democratic lunch, and separately on the Senate floor, about the need to pass voting rights legislation before taking up the Build Back Better legislation and that it would be "irresponsible" for Democrats not to act.Manchin has previously resisted these demands. I don't know of a reason why he'd suddenly give in, now that he's sort of calling the shots on the Democrat side of the Senate, but who knows, maybe he will decide to be magnanimous in victory. Clarification: They would only need Democrat votes to nuke the filibuster. It would work like this (sort of, I'm shaky on the exact process): They would present a motion stating that the filibuster will be set aside. The parlimentarian would rule the motion out-of-order. But then they would vote to overrule her ruling, which only takes a simple majority. If they have all fifty Democrats voting, Kumala would finally be Positioned for Success to cast the tiebreaking vote to overrule the parlimentarian and set the filibuster aside, or end it. I assume what they're pitching Manchin is the idea of keeping the filibuster generally -- he's opposed to scrapping it -- but just suspending it for this one Very Special Vote Because Reasons.

No matter, that point is irrelevant. The main point is whether or not the "people" would still assume that we have free and fair elections that truly reflect the will of the people, or would it finally, finally, be time to admit that only select republicans will be allowed to win? Just enough to maintain the illusion of a rump opposition party, and for the majority to point fingers at as the villians as usual?

They need a federal mandate for unrestricted mail in voting because the public at large now sees it as outright fraud. A referendum in Utah will probably be on the ballot to eliminate mail in voting that has strong support from the voters. Voters in Georgia want to strictly limit absentee voting and completely get rid of drop boxes.
Even if they manage to twist Manchin's arm for this, it is very likely to be ruled unconstitutional. SCOTUS ruled that states have absolute authority to run elections as they see fit in their quest to ensure Trump lost his legal challenges. So now they are stuck.

Portland police are currently overwhelmed - there are fewer cops now than forty years ago (when Portland's population was about half what it is now), and shootings and murders have tripled over a couple of years ago, so the cops don't have a lot of time to chase down car thieves.
The Leftist conspiracy theory is that the Portland cops are staging a deliberate slowdown. They also say that cops don't prevent crime - one of them noted that Detroit now has about the same population and area as Portland, twice as many cops, and yet still has much higher crime rates. (Because I can't think of a single difference between Detroit and Portland, other than the number of cops.)
One frequent poster on Portland Reddit, who hates the cops and wants to abolish them, began a sentence with the following hilarious phrase:
Last time mine got stolen
Because part of life in the big city is getting your car stolen multiple times, right?

I dunno about car theft, but vehicular robbery was big business in the Bay Area. Rental cars were targeted aggressively outside of San Francisco, and it was no holds barred within the city itself.
It got so bad that my big tech company started forbidding the use of rental cars when visiting the home office in SV. We took cabs or Uber. it was expensive, but it was cheaper than the constant equipment replacement and car repair from break-ins. Like most big companies, we were "self-insured" which means we paid for it when it happened. It was so common that the expense couldn't be managed and they just banned it. Take a cab and bring all your shit with you.

"the public at large now sees it as outright fraud."
Great news if true. What's this statement based on? The public at large mostly passively or enthusiastically accepted the farce of 2020, largely because not 1 in 10,000 people has the slightest idea how elections are or should be conducted, and has not/will never give it a thought.
And I am unclear on how SCOTUS did anything in 2020 other than abdicate one its indisputably legitimate roles (adjudicating certain inter-state disputes). How are they "locked in"? One letter, with zero follow-up, from Scalia to PA, and then refusal to even hear the case from many states challenging the comically unconstitutional and likely illegal and stolen electoral results. I see nothing binding, or even relevant, in all that.

Not much of Portland's crime has spilled over into the suburbs, fortunately. A lot of ex-Portland cops now work for suburban police departments, and the criminals generally have the sense to stick to the city that has the Soros DA.
It will be a fascinating anthropological experiment to see public order collapse in Portland, while things are pretty quiet a few miles away. A major suburban commercial area already has higher office lease rates than downtown Portland.

Democrats: If we push this too quickly, we'll be voted out of power and will not be able to keep things going long-term.
WEF globalists: So make it so that you have no risk of losing the 2022 elections. We, the media and social media will take care of the narrative and messaging. You take care of the laws. Jan 2023, full steam ahead with The Great Reset again.

From GovBrew newsletter:
Two women in newly created roles will help lead the implementation of the $1 trillion infrastructure plan; appointments of Katie Thomson and Winnie Stachelberg to departments were announced. Thomson will serve as the director of bipartisan infrastructure law implementation for the DOT, and Stachelberg was named senior adviser and infrastructure coordinator for the Interior Department. Each will lead a team to ensure the benefits of the law are delivered on time, on budget and in accordance with the tasks. The administration plans to add more positions across the country at every level over the coming weeks and months, including new civil servant jobs.

It is...the VRA of 1965 is the thin fig leaf that these knuckle heads are trying to use, but unless a specific law passed by a state can be shown to violate that, and none will be, the Feds can't impose changes. And they can only get the state to change the law or amend it if it is found to violate that Act, not institute their own as a substitute.
By the way, the VRA of 1965 only applies to non-constitutional laws passed by states that discriminated against specifically a certain race, religion, creed or sex...it has zero to do with anything else and its been ruled to be very, very narrow in scope by subsequent SCOTUS rulings.

There's a reason they don't have mail-in voting in Europe, and it's the same reason why Jimmy Carter's UN commission on voting said that voting by mail is the type of voting most susceptible to fraud: because it's the easiest way to cheat.
Tens of thousands more mail-in votes in AZ were mailed back than the state had records of having mailed out. And that was just in one county. Tens of thousands of mail-in votes materialized out of nowhere.
The only people who look at a situation like that and say "hey, we need more of this and we need to make it federally mandated" are f*cking cheats, IOW, Dims.

Nope, already been ruled to be way to narrow in scope by subsequent SCOTUS rulings to allow the Feds to suspend elections or elections laws just by invoking it, or decide to write the laws for the States themselves. Any question on a state's election law constitutionality must be sued under the Act and then proven to be so in order to get the election law amended...and will be enjoined until that can happen.

The requirement for unanimous consent for almost everything - which also gives each of the 100 city-state-like senators power over the whole body - is central here too, but the filibuster is just the formal (for now) arrangement whereby each individual senator's near-absolute procedural power is limited. Removing the filibuster would mean the power of delay (or torment) is gone for each individual senator, or small groups thereof.
The current alien, unrecognizable Senate (mostly the Dem side, with respect to this topic) may well give it up. But there's a good reason it has remained inviolate for a long time.

You're not wrong. Any 2021 Voting Rights Act bill will be viewed by the Federal Courts as an attempt to amend the 1965 Act or expand its scope and then get immediately questioned why that Act didn't go far enough after SCOTUS has already narrowed its original scope...and any such 2021 Voting Rights Act that effectively suspends or requires the states to immediately amend their election laws based on an expanded scope of that VRA of 1965 gets enjoined - and shot down eventually.

As I noted, although boring and largely unnoticed, the episode with Obama's recess appointments - and specifically that the Senate didn't squash Obama in one day, as would have happened previously in such a situation - was amazing.
In any previous time, the majority and minority leaders would have been at the microphones together before lunch time, politely explaining that the president had a choice of persisting with his violation of accepted procedures on recess appointments, or having almost any of his other business acted on by the Senate.

One of the brilliant elements of the constitutional system was its reliance on institutional jealousy and power-hunger to limit the power of the branches, vis a vis each other. That recess appointment episode was simply stunning in how it showed one major party in the Senate was willing to lie down for a direct encroachment on their institution's settled prerogatives.

@Boswell, I like the way you think. Cut, jib, newsletter. We do not use lawfare enough (although yesterday the Fifth Circuit issued a blistering decision on the return to Mexico policy that the Biden Administration was trying to suspend, so Texas is doing its part). I'm less sanguine about the specific scenario you lay out, because I think a lot of the VRA litigation has been about the expansion of the VRA beyond what the act actually says, so if Congress were to pass a new act, the old stuff would be moot -- it's more about the interpretation of a law, not about the Constitution. But hell yes, tie it up in court.

Politicians need a lilypond to land in after politics, so it's now become a Silicon Triangle - or, Iron Triangle 2.0.

Yeah, I'm a format snob at this point. It's a flaw on my part. Blu-ray or better...unless it's not available. I'm thinking of picking up the Ford at Fox DVD boxset because it has so much that's not available on Blu-ray anymore like Drums Along the Mohawk.

THEY will then be the Majority, Harris vote means nothing, ALL leadership positions change, committee chairs change, entire agenda/schedule changes. "Bi-Partisan" will return to it's historic definition...rather than simply "Partisans who are Bi". or "Partisans who are Bought"

Pretty sure Sinema has also stated her opposition to ending the filibuster. It isn't just Manchin.

I'd have the bestest Christmas celebration ever.
