Russ Feingold: “We were under a severe threat.”

You absolutely count to 50, but some of the names that have been put around already are people who have received votes from Republicans on the Judiciary Committee.

I think they know they`re going to lose. And I think people like Graham may well decide that this is not one to fight on.

It would be crazy for people to not do something strong now and make sure voting rights are protected out of some kind of a fear of what Mitch McConnell would do in the future.

I believe a public pressure will cause a reform or changing the filibuster at a minimum to make sure that a new voting rights bill will get through.
