From the senator’s private twitter
There has been some talk about nuking the filibusters only for voting rights and civil rights legislation. The VAWA is not a voting rights act and might or might not be considered a civil rights act (it certainly is a human rights act).
Hum. So, is this hinting at a deal? The filibuster dies on VAWA reauthorization (meaning that Senator Sinema doesn’t set off Republicans/Racists by voting to kill it for either civil or voting rights) and the Grand Canyon Protection Act goes into the transportation bill, giving the Senator a high profile home state win.
Seems like we may have a deal here. . .
