Senate Democrats eye talking filibuster
| Senate Democrats are eyeing trying to change the Senate’s rules to shift to a talking filibuster, which would get rid of the 60-vote hurdle currently required to advance most legislation.
Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, cautioned that Democrats would continue their discussions during a caucus meeting set for 5 p.m. on Tuesday, but said the caucus is moving toward trying to implement the talking filibuster. |
