Hillary Clinton: Eliminating Legislative Filibuster Would Make Senators ‘Work Together’

Clinton It wasn t ░░░░░░░░ present when I was ░░░░░░░░ but I think unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ are now a lot ░░░░░░░░ personalities in the Senate ░░░░░░░░ engage in that kind ░░░░░░░░ a scorched earth politics ░░░░░░░░ I think several things ░░░░░░░░ I have come to ░░░░░░░░ that the filibuster is ░░░░░░░░ archaic remnant of a ░░░░░░░░ time We have to ░░░░░░░░ people that government can ░░░░░░░░ We may not always ░░░░░░░░ on you know what ░░░░░░░░ is the right solution ░░░░░░░░ be but we have ░░░░░░░░ demonstrate that elections actually ░░░░░░░░ consequences and people like ░░░░░░░░ or not should see ░░░░░░░░ the results are I ░░░░░░░░ that the House is ░░░░░░░░ in a very interesting ░░░░░░░░ by bringing back the ░░░░░░░░ of earmarks that can ░░░░░░░░ justified hopefully to bring ░░░░░░░░ together around infrastructure not ░░░░░░░░ bridge to nowhere but ░░░░░░░░ know the bridge that ░░░░░░░░ going to fall down ░░░░░░░░ a year if we ░░░░░░░░ t fix it And ░░░░░░░░ I think that the ░░░░░░░░ has become a symbol ░░░░░░░░ minority obstructionism as opposed ░░░░░░░░ a cooling saucer parliamentary ░░░░░░░░ to get people to ░░░░░░░░ together because there doesn ░░░░░░░░ seem to be a ░░░░░░░░ of appetite And you ░░░░░░░░ the final thing I ░░░░░░░░ say Richard is even ░░░░░░░░ I was there you ░░░░░░░░ we actually had a ░░░░░░░░ process We would have ░░░░░░░░ hearings people would show ░░░░░░░░ witnesses would show up ░░░░░░░░ would mark up bills ░░░░░░░░ would go to the ░░░░░░░░ we would have real ░░░░░░░░ That s all gone ░░░░░░░░ mean the only thing ░░░░░░░░ Mitch McConnell wanted to ░░░░░░░░ was cut taxes and ░░░░░░░░ judges The rest of ░░░░░░░░ business of being in ░░░░░░░░ Senate basically was just ░░░░░░░░ know put aside And ░░░░░░░░ think we need to ░░░░░░░░ back a real legislative ░░░░░░░░ If you thought you ░░░░░░░░ to actually stand up ░░░░░░░░ vote on something you ░░░░░░░░ actually work to get ░░░░░░░░ amendment to change it ░░░░░░░░ opposed to saying I ░░░░░░░░ t even have to ░░░░░░░░ about it I m ░░░░░░░░ gonna show up and ░░░░░░░░ m gonna be part ░░░░░░░░ a filibuster That doesn ░░░░░░░░ inspire cooperation It just ░░░░░░░░ people in their separate ░░░░░░░░ So I think it ░░░░░░░░ gonna take a little ░░░░░░░░ of change in order ░░░░░░░░ get to the where ░░░░░░░░ have to work together ░░░░░░░░ surprisingly in my own ░░░░░░░░ I think getting rid ░░░░░░░░ the filibuster will actually ░░░░░░░░ that result.”
