ChelseaRecord PRESIDENT: Stephen Quigley EDITOR IN CHIEF: Cary Shuman THE FILIBUSTER MUST END Forum The pros and cons of maintaining the filibuster in the U.S. Senate have reached the forefront of political dis- cussion as never before -- and with good reason. Wheth- er one believes that the filibuster protects the minority from the so-called tyranny of the majority or provides a means for the minority to obstruct the majority, the filibuster clearly is anti-democratic. The filibuster is not part of our Constitution. It sim- ply is a Senate rule upon which the Senate has carved out exceptions over the years, most notably for Pres- idential nominations and budget matters. The latter is referred to as reconciliation, which is how President Biden’s $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill was enacted by a simple majority, as was the Republicans’ $2 trillion tax cut for the ultra-rich in 2017. The rule allowing a filibuster may have made sense in the early 1800s when the U.S. was not divided between two parties. Political coalitions were much more fluid in the early days of our nation and compromise was com- mon among senators. However, after the Civil War, the battle lines were drawn between Democrats and the newly-formed Re- publican party (which only had come into existence in 1854), principally on the issue of race -- with the Dem- ocrats from the Solid South coalescing around the issue of segregation. The so-called Dixiecrats -- embodied by Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina -- used the filibus- ter from the 1940s through the 1960s in an attempt to stymie Civil Rights legislation, especially the Voting Rights Act. Though the racist efforts of Thurmond and others ul- timately failed (only because the Senate obtained a 2/3 Guest Op-Ed majority to end filibusters on those issues), the filibuster likely will be employed by Senate Republicans to ob- struct voting reform measures that are necessary today.
