Yes but on some bills it imposes 60/40 voting. You can end a fillabuster anyway, its not like forever. Has like a 30h limit or some shit in the senate and then they just vote again. This gives them at most a week to delay. It really doesn't do much but slow government down most of the time. -

Yeah Franky pretty much. But you're dealing with a total troll guy here you know what I'm sayin -
2021-04-22 at 1:42 PM UTCThey also don't have to be present for the fillabuster which is shitty. They always get some speaker and then take a few days off while the speaker talks for hours and hours on end.
Imagine having a job where you can just not show up and still get paid -

"The House approved a D.C. statehood measure by a vote of 232 to 180 last year, but it did not get a vote in the Senate, which was then controlled by Republicans. Although Democrats now hold a 50-seat majority, most legislation requires 60 votes to advance, and this bill is unlikely to garner support from 10 Republicans. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has committed to bringing the measure to the floor for a vote, but a motion to move forward with the legislation would almost certainly fail." -

Google it dumbo...I copy pasted 2 news sources.
Here's a 3rd...from your very own left wing source...
(CNN)The House of Representatives is on track to vote Thursday on a bill that would grant statehood to Washington, DC, a Democratic priority that faces obstacles to final passage even with the party now in control of both chambers of Congress and the White House.
House Democrats passed the bill -- H.R. 51, the Washington, D.C. Admission Act -- last year in a historic vote that marked the first time either chamber of Congress had advanced a DC statehood measure. But it did not advance in the Senate, which was controlled by a Republican majority at the time.
Now Democrats are pushing again for its passage. The legislation is expected to pass in the House but still face an uphill fight in the Senate, where it is unlikely to get enough Republican support to clear a 60-vote threshold for passage.
More fake news from the letfy 20yr old who lives with mom and doesn't know how his own country works please.
