Republicans and some Democrats, such as West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, are against ending the filibuster, which has been used for decades to blunt the majority's power.

It is an important check to keep a majority ruled congress from running rough shod on everything while they are the majority. The democrats have used this as a check while they were in the minority. .

Doing away with the filibuster is one step towards one party rule. They regretted abolishing the filibuster for judges. Why would this be different? And when did the media stop calling it "the nuclear option"?

Democrats and Newsom have rigged the system in California in a way that only they can win elections.
