No this is something that the Democrats will ride right into the next election in 2022 and use against the Republicans. It will be a drawn out affair just like the election collusion investigation that cost millions and took forever.

This Question of the Day, is eleven days old.

Just more Grandstanding by the democrats. I wish the dems would try this hard to find Hillary's 35,000 missing emails.

Will Mason

It is a witch hunt and a waste of money. Stop the witch hunt.

Jeff Coats

waste of valuable time and tax payer dollars. Security planning and execution lapse ultimately led to a simple situation getting way out of control. Could have been easily avoided.

"It's the economy, stupid." James Carville. The left's outrage over the many SCOTUS rulings on RvW, 2A, EPA overreach, are already wanning. Yuuuugggeee red wave coming to sweep the Dems out of power. FJB

Max DeYoung

Even James Carville knows none of the Supreme Court Justices are up for reelection. ROTFLOL. Maybe the lefties should listen to James. He is one of them. Nope, not gonna do that. They would rather worship King Biden and suffer under his Bidenflation Policies. This is the best recession since Carter.

Max DeYoung

People will remember, that it costs way too much to go to the store, to buy overpriced food, and not having enough money to pay for it. Hamburger helper without hamburger, is already real for many families. And it is going to get much worse, thanks to Joe Biden. LGB

Some Democrats have been reluctant to tinker with the filibuster, which allows political minorities in the Senate to block legislation.

The Dems are just acting like sore losers right now. You can bet that they would change their tune when they're back in the minority and couldn't use the filibuster themselves.

Max DeYoung

It would be pretty dumb for the dems to do that. It will be their only protection after mid terms. But I hope they do. I will laugh my, well you know the rest.

Harry D

Don't laugh off too many body parts. The gluteus maximus muscle group is important to allow the body to roll around on the floor while laughing hysterically at FJB's flailing policy failures, left's reactions to SCOTUS rulings, etc. Buy popcorn now before Bidenflation makes it too expensive. FJB

Harry D

The major policy swings to left and right, with presidents using executive orders on their first day in office to cancel the previous president's policies, is really bad for this country. Getting rid of filibuster will make this worse. We need policies the vast majority agree on, especially energy.

Lisa Howard Glass

Those stupid mfers don't realize it'll end up being used against them when they lose power. Plus, just because you can't ram through everything you want, doesn't mean you get to change the rules whenever you want. Abolish the SCOTUS, end the filibuster...who's really threatening democracy here?

Will Mason

They changed them for judges. Giving Trump tons of judges confirmed. Did they learn nothing from that mistake? The rules exist fir a reason. Dems won't always be in power. Beware of unintended consequences.

Harry D

Trump judges are doing a great job: overturning RvW, cutting the legs out from under the EPA, allowing people to have guns. Even 9th circus court said no gun discrimination against 18 year olds. Dems can't rely on legislating their unpopular agenda from the bench anymore, which is really good. FJB
