THE FILIBUSTER
 F ILIBUSTER S UPPORT
The “Filibuster” is a rule in the Senate that requires most legislation to have 60 Votes (60% of the 100 seats currently in the Senate)
rather than a bare majority of 51. Supporters of the Filibuster say this rule protects the voice of the minority and encourages
compromise which is good for the country. Opponents of the Filibuster say this rule is a racist Jim Crow relic that allows the
Republican minority to block popular legislation the country needs. Do you personally support or oppose the Filibuster?

 Next are some statements made by public figures about this
filibuster debate. Please read each one carefully and indicate if
you agree or disagree with each statement. Disagree Agree

The possibility of one-party rule, with no rights for

the minority party, is anti-democratic and should be
rejected out of hand.
18 8 10 29 37 66
The focus on Senate procedural fights, like the filibuster, is a
distraction from the real work the Senate should be doing on
priorities like COVID, Inflation, and Immigration. It is time for 22 10 12 27 34 61
Democrats to move on from this pipe dream and start doing the
hard work which will actually help Americans.

The filibuster is a valuable tool in the Senate because it

forces both parties to come to the table and compromise on 21 8 13 28 33 61
any legislation that may become the law of the land.

The filibuster must be preserved to protect America from radical

agendas from EITHER Republicans or Democrats. Any proposed
law, from either party, that cannot get at least 60 votes should
21 9 12 27 33 60
not become law.
Democrats are engaged in supreme political hypocrisy. Senator Schumer
regularly argued in favor of the filibuster when he was in the minority, 32
Democrat Senators signed an open letter in 2017 defending the filibuster
(when Trump was President), and Democrats used the practice hundreds
23 10 12 23 31 54
of times to block Republican priorities from becoming law.
