Miller to Senate: Let the Majority Prevail
Senator Introduces Bill to End 60-Vote Requirement of Filibuster Rule

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) today introduced a bill to abolish Senate Rule XXII, also known as the filibuster rule. He released the following statement concerning the bill:

“We need to get shed of this outrageous rule that allows 41 who oppose something to defeat 59 who favor it. Or, as we saw in today’s vote on whether to go forward with a debate on a class action lawsuit bill, 39 senators blocked the will of 59 senators.

“This rule is not only a waste of time and taxpayer money. It is a flagrant abuse of majority rule, the principle that a republican form of government operates on everywhere – everywhere that is except the United States Senate."

***********
Hold on just a cotton-picking minute there, Senator DINO. I can think of one other place in which the will of the majority is thwarted by the minority.

Think real hard, will you Senator Back-stabber? The last presidential election . . . more than half a million votes for the "losing" candidate? Is it starting to come back to you, Senator?

I'm sure we can look forward to a bill repealing the Electoral College very soon based on this same line of reasoning . . . or not.
