Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed on Monday that he will push a vote on changing the Senate rules by January 17, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, if Republicans continue to oppose his party’s voting rights bill.
“If Republicans continue to block our efforts, The Senate will debate and consider changes to Senate rules on or before January 17, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, to protect the foundation of our democracy: Free and fair elections,” Schumer tweeted.

Schumer also sent a letter on Monday to the members of the Senate Democratic Caucus regarding the issue.
“The fight for the ballot is as old as the Republic. Over the coming weeks, the Senate will once again consider how to perfect this union and confront the historic challenges facing our democracy,” Schumer wrote.

I believe Schumer’s real purpose is to eliminate the filibuster to increase Democrats’ power. The election bill is just an excuse to try to get support to eliminate the filibuster. Schumer doesn’t have the best interests of the Country in mind. It’s all about POWER.
Richard; I agree that the dems are a great threat to our society, but IT IS NOT A DEMOCRACY this is modern education propaganda. WE THE PEOPLE pledge our allegiance to “THE REPUBLIC” no to a democracy. More so called conservatives need to read The Constitution AND the Federalist Papers. And as to the greatest threat to our REPUBLIC, it is unlearned and/or propagandized voters! A failure of the education system and the unions who back the leftist agenda.
Unions started out as a much needed item, but first the mob took over and then; when the dems saw that there was big money to be made, (coercing money out of the members) they took over while indoctrinating the members into believing that they were working for the common man. IT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME.
Schumer is just acting his mental age! Most adolescents want to change the rules of any game they play when they see themselves losing, this is why we have organized sports in schools, to learn that rules are rules and everyone must abide. But again; these leftists are all acting like spoiled children and the trouble is: we have had too many gutless republican representatives who failed to stand up against them in the past, so now they think they are above reproach. It’s time for an overhaul of the Republican party!!! If they (any candidate) is not knowledgeable of The Constitution they have no business running for office; even if it is only for being a dog catcher.
Amen!
These power grabbers in Washington. D.C. are not above our laws & our Constitution! “NANCY” & “SCHUMER”! THAT WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD TRUMP! REMEMBER !!! in your witch hunt?
YOU HAVE NOT STOPPED. Your still Trying to stop Trump & our American freedoms.
REASON, FOR YOUR POWERS TO RULE & DESTROY AMERICA.
IT’S TIME FOR DIRTY POLITICANS TO GO!
Past time all those who think they own America( you have been in Congress way to long ( it’s time you all retire & jail time for your crimes you have committed)!
Term Limits Article V in our Constitution stops politicans from high jacking our Constitution.
Looking forward to 2022 elections.
Do not trying to steal votes! Americans have awaken!
the Constitution leaves the voting rules to the states. this can only be changed by an amendment not by the senate passing a law.
It will be great to see his tail pipes as the leaves after midterms!!!!!
Schumer and the Democrats are now the greatest threat to our democratic processes. They care about NOTHING except their POWER. If they can’t win through the democratic process, they want to change the rules.
