Now, every bill can get an up/down vote on the floor of the senate, and senators cannot hide behind the filibuster to avoid accountability.

When Dems retake the senate, Schumer, or whoever is majority leader, must not do anything to resurrect this monstrous relic of the Jim Crow era.

R.I.P. The Filibuster.

Good riddance.
