Sen. Chris Murphy: We Need to Get Rid of the Filibuster in Order to ‘Save Our Democracy’

‘We no longer have two parties that are both committed to democracy and extending the vote’

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “I understand it’s important for people in my business to be consistent and maintain their positions, but you also have to recognize you when the facts around you have changed. So, you know, we’ll continue to have a really robust debate about the future of Senate rules. I may go down to the Senate floor the next 24, 48 hours and have my say on the question, but it’s really important that we don’t give the minority party in the Senate veto power over reforms to our democracy that will save our democracy.”
