Filibusters Prevent Rushed Activism After 50 Republicans blocked S.1 (For The Peoples Act), Tim Kaine (D-VA) made the progressive case against the filibuster, "Do we want to accomplish a lot over the next couple of years or don't we?" His sense of emergency stems from three facts: (1) ten Republicans won't vote to end cloture, (2) two Democrats won't kill the filibuster, and (3) his party will lose the House in a "couple of years." He's desperate to squash new election-integrity laws in swing states before 2022.
