Schumer Ready to Test Democrats on Filibuster

NBC News: “Democrats have the power to change those rules but lack the unanimity it’d require of the 50-member caucus. And when the Senate returns from a weeklong Memorial Day recess, Schumer appears ready to test his members.”

“He promised votes on the Paycheck Fairness Act and a bill to protect voting rights — both have viable paths to a majority vote but not 60 to defeat a filibuster. He said LGBTQ rights and gun legislation may also come up.”
