President Donald Trump and his footmen are of a total desire to accuse the Democrats of closing the government. This is ridiculous – they control the White House, the Senate, the Chamber and for a good measure, the Supreme Court. Democrats do not have power.
But the Republicans will resist, the Democrats in the Senate are Filibusters! The expansion of financing cannot occur at least without some Democratic support, right?
Well, of course? There is currently Filibster. But this is not a tough rule.
Democrats Killed him For judges of a lower level and confirmation of the executive branch. Republicans He threw Filibuster For candidates for the Supreme Court.
Both sides limited the power of Filibuster when he approached them. There is nothing that does not prevent the Republicans from eliminating Filibuster on a simple vote of the majority up or down.
Even this year Republicans Weakened FilibusterChanging the rules, especially in order to cover their unpopular agenda.
So nothing prevents them from doing this now. They have votes, and they can immediately open the government again without democratic support, if they really want.
So why don't they do this? Because They want the Americans to sufferAnd they hope that they can attach pain to the democrats. It is so simple.
