Four short years ago, when it was President Trump calling for an end to the filibuster, it was none other than Chuck Schumer who called The legislative filibuster “the most important distinction between the Senate and the House.” And now Senator Elizabeth Warren, who used that tactic against Senator Tim Scott’ police-reform bill, laughably calls that tactic “racist.”
To the Republicans who joined their Democrat friends in re-instituting the legislative/budget porkfest known as “earmarks” we remind them that the late Tom Coburn of Oklahoma called “earmarks” the “gateway drug” to big spending. And, we would add, that it will call for more and more taxes to support that habit.
