Joe Biden's America

Senators are supposed to represent the state, not the people. The problem with ending the filibuster and making it easier to pass legislation is that it also makes it easier to repeal legislation. So if one party gets major legislation passed with 51 votes, and then loses just two seats, the other party comes in and repeals everything the first party did. We'd go swinging wildly back and forth with no predictability as to what our national policy is and businesses would be crippled when they are unable to plan for the future because major legislation that affects them keeps swinging wildly back and forth. What the filibuster does with its 60 vote requirement is ensure that if legislation is passed, it is likely to remain in place for the future. That is very important. |
