Filibuster Bust

Democrats flip flop on the filibuster:

After a loss of the majority and a defeat in their bid to make significant changes to the legislative process, many Democrats are now planning to use the filibuster as part of their strategy to block Republican initiatives and President-elect Donald Trump’s policies. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) acknowledged the evolving stance, explaining, “I’d be lying if I said we’d be in a better position without the filibuster. We have a responsibility to stop autocratic and long-headed abuse of power or policy, and we’ll use whatever tools we have available. We’re not going to fight this battle with one hand tied behind our back.”

They were against it before they were for it...
