Manchin And Sinema Pop Democrat Balloon On SCOTUS – They Just Stood Up To Their Party On The Filibuster

For several years now, two Democrat leaders have drawn the ire of their colleagues. This pair routinely stands against typical liberal talking points.

Senator Joe Manchin has squared off against President Joe Biden numerous times, and Kyrsten Sinema has stood up for a few conservative values as well.

Now, Both Are Standing In The Way Of A Huge Democrat Demand — And It Probably Isn’t Going Over Well With Their Party.

Manchin (D-W.V.) and Sinema (D-AZ) recently responded to the renewed leftist call to amend or abolish the filibuster.

These calls intensified after the massive leak that showed the Supreme Court was about to overturn Roe v. Wade. It’s an event that has sent shockwaves across the political sphere.

In reply, most Democrats want the filibuster gone. But Manchin and Sinema refuse to budge on this issue.

Both have stood against changing or removing the filibuster in the past, and this Supreme Court leak isn’t changing their minds.

Via The Daily Wire:

Moderate Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona dodged calls from fellow Democrats to amend or abolish the filibuster to pass laws protecting abortion after a leaked opinion showed that the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Both Manchin and Sinema defended the filibuster Tuesday, saying that they believe the filibuster has actually protected abortion rights from being overturned by Congress in the past.

Manchin has said before that he believes the filibuster is important as a “check on power.”

And he actually thinks it helps the Democrat cause, as it may actually preserve abortion rights. Sen. Sinema is apparently of a similar mind.

This presents Democrats with a significant problem:

Without Manchin’s backing, there’s almost no chance the party in power can get the filibuster removed. Sinema is yet another monkey wrench in the works.
