    Elizabeth Warren laments filibuster's 'racism' and calls on Senate to eliminate the procedure.
    Washington Examiner (Moderate Right) • Credibility Grade 78% • 2 min read

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s comments come as many Democrats have signaled support for eliminating the filibuster in recent weeks, especially as President Biden moves from his pandemic relief package to even more controversial legislation. "It's important that we not continue to allow the filibuster to be a tool used to suppress the right to vote that black people have fought and died for," Rep. Hank Johnson said.
    ...
    Johnson was referring to the Democrats' proposed massive overhaul of the U.S. voting system, with legislation recently clearing the House that would make sweeping changes to voter registration and ID, taking much of that power away from state legislatures. Warren argued the filibuster has a racist history born out of previous southern resistance to civil rights legislation.
    ...
    “When they didn't want a simple majority, for example in an impeachment, they said so specifically,” Warren said. “The filibuster is a later creation that was designed to give the South the ability to veto any effective civil rights legislation or anti-lynching legislation." But the Democratic push faces hurdles in the form of Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, two Democrats that have made their opposition to eliminating the filibuster clear.

Yes - I personally know two people that fall under the Dreamer status. They are both excellent upstanding people that have made something of their lives despite their families bringing them here with nothing. They want to be actual citizens and I think they deserve to be. It’s not they’re fault they were taken from their home and brought here as children.


No - It's extremely unfair to those who follow the rules. Rewarding, even the children...


Unsure - Children brought to the country illegally had no say in the matter, so I think it's fair to offer them...
