I clench my thighs, the silvery ache burning like I’m about to pee my pants. Slowly, I turn my head and see Mr. Torrance standing there in a dark suit. The scowl on his face softens, and he lets out a sigh. Since the filibuster is not in the COTUS, where did it come from? To make a long story short, the filibuster came into existence in the nineteenth century, "as part of white supremacists’ mission to preserve slavery, and then their efforts to strengthen it during the early twentieth century to maintain Jim Crow. (Then) the modern, post–civil rights Senate began applying the filibuster to a broadening range of bills and issues, and married the old vision of minority rule with new, rigid leadership structures."

James Madison, known as the Father of the Constitution, called majority rule “the republican principle.” He wrote, “In Republics, where the people govern themselves, and where, of course, the majority govern...The vital principle of Republican Government is the lex majoris partis, the will of the majority.” Kill Switch is perhaps one of the most relevant books one could read right now as voting rights bills are held up to protect the interests of the minority to expand and entrench their tyranny.The waitstaff clears silverware while glasses clink, and I glance up at the darkening sky, seeing the clouds cover the sun and cast a shadow over the party. Perfect for the candlelight. All other presidents combined had endured a total of eighty-two filibusters against their nominees. But from 2009 to 2013, President Obama alone faced eighty-six … under President Bill Clinton, unanimous judicial nominees—those who ended up having zero votes cast against their nomination—waited an average of 17 days to receive their confirmation votes. Under President George W. Bush, the wait was 29 days. Under President Obama, it was 125 days

If the Democrats can bypass the filibuster through reconciliation, a process used for budgeting that relies upon a simple majority, calls to end the filibuster will likely soften. If not, expect the filibuster to remain front and center heading into the 2022 midterms. Keep Kill Switch close at hand. I push off my foot, breaking into a run as the wind sweeps through the cypresses, the promise in the gray sky and looming clouds making the hair on my arms rise. I turn right and wind around the trees, following the path and losing my way as the entrance to the maze gets farther away from me the deeper I go. Which form of government is preferable -- rule by the majority or by the minority? Most Americans would say the former, so long as there were protections for minority rights. Most contemporary Republicans, however, prefer the later -- and they get it. As Adam Jentleson puts it, "Minority rule is a defining feature of our era." The modern Senate can be boiled down to McConnell's obstruction. And he had help. For his first senate campaign With his prospects looking grim, McConnell decided to put himself in the hands of Roger Ailes. At the time, Ailes was a TV consultant, making ads for Republican candidates. McConnell wanted an ad that would shake up the race, he told Ailes, and suggested positive ones that would introduce him to voters. Ailes shot them down. “Do you want to look nice, or do you want to take out your opponent and win this thing?” Ailes asked. “I want to do what it takes,” McConnell replied.Vile. Later, before the tragedy of what would be the results of the 2016 election, McConnell said “I want the American people to be comfortable with the fact that the Republican House and Senate is a responsible, right-of-center, governing majority.” Now that is laughable. On healthcare, he directed that no Republicans support the bill so as to prevent any claim to "bipartisan" - "In what was once the 'world’s greatest deliberative body,' a complex policy issue governing 15 percent of America’s economy was boiled down to a binary political calculation. 'If he [Obama] was for it,' as former Republican senator George Voinovich said, 'we had to be against it.'" Kill Switch makes clear how we got here with non-consititutional fillabuster rule being used to perpetuate domination of the minority interests over the majority. As the minority tries to structural ensure continued control of the older whiter right wing population that is a smaller and smaller minority, the desperation of this minority is becoming clearer in the gerrymandering and voter suppression tactics they are using in many of the very states that revolted against majority rule during the Civil War.I inch down and then up, trying to see around the edge of the door, but I can’t see the other person. Madame and Mr. Torrance have a son. I rarely see him, though. He’s my sister’s age but goes to Catholic school. a b "ISO 12100:2010 Safety of machinery — General principles for design — Risk assessment and risk reduction". iso.org.
