The filibuster is nondemocratic. It has been used to the disarray of the Congress. And, certainly, it hasn’t been anything that has helped -- been helpful to the American people. It’s got to go.
As a result of that, Barack Obama will go down as having the most successful Congress in the history of the country. Barack Obama changed the world.
Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.
Get rid of the filibuster. It’s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis’ funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It’s very bad.
