Worth repeating.
Nick Beaudrot on the media's normalization of the Senate supermajority roadblock...
...while treaties need 67 votes to pass, nothing needs 60 votes to pass; that requirement is a choice made by current members of the Senate.I'll bet somebody you know - bunch of folks, probably - thinks the filibuster is in the Constitution.
It ain't.
Spread the word.
