Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he was considering changing or open to changing or may change the filibuster rules next year to pass a federal Roe law, enshrining national abortion rights. Schumer said that he would pass two voting rights laws under a filibuster exception. On abortion he said, “I have to discuss that with my caucus. This is one of the issues we would have to debate and discuss and evolve.”

    Id rather the whole fillibuster be nuked, but this is a perfectly acceptable start. We gotta get them the votes to be able to follow through though. VOTE!

      They only had 50 years to nuke the filibuster, all it takes is a simple majority.
