Re: Democracy

They'd need 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster. They have only 50 democratic senators, and at least one is very publicly anti abortion.

What you refer to with the CLOUD Act was not a highly charged partisan affair where one of the parties was united against it and breaking a filibuster would be necessary.
