Former Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema heroically saved the Senate filibuster when Democrats wanted it repealed. She was accused in TV ads of “supporting a Jim Crow relic.”

Now a professor at Arizona State University, Sinema must have laughed out loud after seeing 38 of her former Democratic colleagues attempt to use the filibuster to stop the government funding bill last week. All 38 of these senators either voted to abolish the filibuster in January 2022 or campaigned to end the 60 vote procedural rule to pass legislation.

Much like Synema, we’ve been unwavering supporters of the filibuster and have opposed Republican and Democratic attempts to kill it. This is not a country of majority rule. We protect the rights of the minority.

Majority rule is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
