Now that the Senate’s evil clown is about to exercise his leadership in the minority, he has formulated Schumer’s golden rule: “Please don’t do to us what we were going to do to you.” This was Schumer’s post-election word cloud of last week: “Another closely contested election now comes to an end,” he said.
Schumer is obviously concerned that Republicans might embrace a scheme to eliminate the filibuster and pass all sorts of consequential legislation with no Democratic input at all.
That wouldn’t be bipartisan! Fortunately for Schumer, Republicans have been more principled than Democrats when it comes to the legislative filibuster, and to the filibuster in general.
He was advocating changing Senate rules, on an entirely partisan basis, to eliminate the minority party’s ability to demand a higher standard of approval for controversial legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is soon to become Senate Minority Leader.
