re: #80 Ministry of Fairness and Balance

Just askin’. I never really understood the modalities of how 40 Republican senators could effectivel block reform, but all it takes is 51 to put the Blunt Act through

Because democrats don’t have the spine/spite to filibuster everything they don’t like. That or it was that this was an amendment and thus couldn’t be filibustered, even I still have a fair bit to learn about the senate.
