By removing the 60-vote threshold for most Senate votes, the current Republican majority — and any future Senate majority of either party — would be empowered to ram its agenda through without so much as consulting the other party.

Despite the dangers, Republicans are openly entertaining it. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said last week that he is “not willing to see children in my state go hungry … over some Senate procedure.” And Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said of ending the filibuster, “If we can’t get anything done, that’s what [Democrats] are gonna force.”


Hawley and Scott, champions of the poor and hungry...ugh
