Once obscure, the Senate filibuster is coming under fresh scrutiny

Once obscure, the Senate filibuster is coming under fresh scrutiny not only because of the enormous power it gives a single senator to halt President Joe Biden’s agenda but as a tool historically used for racism.

Senators and those advocating for changes to the practice say the procedure that allows endless debate is hardly what the founders intended, but rather a Jim Crow-relic whose time is up.

Observation - consider the source for this article;

AP propaganda (a sad demise to a once-great wire). Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi (Manchin). You're our only hope. Filibuster? The Democrats had no problem with the Senate rules when they needed it. The clock is ticking 578 days until mid-term elections and they are in trouble.
