The only reason we’re doing it now is, first, the Senate Democrats, I think, have misused the filibuster, and honestly, the Republicans have let them misuse the filibuster.
The president has to sign it, so it can’t be something that he decides he doesn’t want to sign.
We have to remember the deal they are trying to enforce is when we had a Democratic president and a Democratic Senate. We don't have those anymore.
That's a no-go, that's a red line that we're not changing our position on and they know that.
