I will say to all my friends, that they`re in the Senate, that nobody is asking you to give up the filibuster, that I wish they would stop saying that. We asked you to do for voting rights and constitution right the same thing that you`ve done for the budget. We hear ask, respectfully, that you allow the same kind of reconciliation of constitutional rights that you allow for budgetary issue. That`s all.
Clyburn argues for treating voting rights legislation with the same urgency as budgetary issues, without giving up the filibuster.
