#18 Talking Filibuster and HR1 Voter (Fraud)
Podcast #18:
Welcome back friends to In My Right Mind with the ever-impassioned Russ Andrews (that’s me) along with my good buddy, the debonair PJ Jaycox.
Before we get started PJ, I come bearing gifts for you:

Hey PJ, did you know that the demented Joe Biden was the only person in the W/H who hid his own Easter Eggs?
A new Rasmussen Poll Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 64% of Likely U.S. Voters say it is not possible to completely prevent mass shootings like the ones in Atlanta, Georgia, and Boulder, Colorado. Only 23% believe mass shootings can be completely prevented, while 13% are not sure.
BUT, they will make a run at our guns!
History of the Filibuster:
PJ, what article of the constitution created the filibuster? Article 1 created the House and the Senate…but the filibuster wasn’t created until 1837. As a refresher, the filibuster is intended to slow down legislation in the Senate…the so-called world’s most deliberative legislative body.
When the founders devised our bicameral legislative body, they didn’t make much of any kind of differentiation between rules in the House and the Senate. The primary difference at the time was the length of service; the House was intended to address fervors, fevers & the madness & issues of importance of the day, and hence representatives only serve a 2 yr term.
“George Washington is said to have told Jefferson that the framers had created the Senate to "cool" House legislation just as a saucer was used to cool hot tea.” The Senate was intended to be less reactive than the House which is why senators serve 6-yr terms.
The House and Senate rulebooks in 1789 were nearly identical. Both rulebooks included what is known as the “previous question” motion. The House kept their motion, and today it empowers a simple majority to cut off debate. (REPEAT). The Senate no longer has that rule on its books. It has the filibuster instead.
The filibuster was started in 1837 when Senate allies of Democrat President Andrew Jackson attempted to remove a Senate Censure of Jackson for his role in attempting to partially defund The Bank Of The United States of Gov’t $$$. Essentially, a group of senators threatened to speak all day, for every Senate session unless Jackson’s allies relented. And so it began.
There was no way to end a filibuster until 1917 when the Senate adopted a super-majority rule that required 67 votes to bring an end to any filibuster….which is called cloture. (arming merchant ships with weapons). That rule was amended in 1975 when the Senate reduced the required majority to 60 senators to bring cloture to a filibuster.
Essentially, the filibuster guarantees that the minority party will be heard. Now our friends…the Dimms…are attempting to eliminate the filibuster to create a $15/hr minimum wage, to make Puerto Rico and Wash DC states, to confiscate certain weapons from law abiding citizens, to federalize elections making it easier to cheat, and on and on and on.
The Dimms claim that the filibuster is racist because during the debate over passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 19 senators filibustered the bill for 72 days. The 19 broke into 5 groups of 3…and a 6th group of 4 senators. Each group was assigned a day of the week to take the dias and to speak for hours and hours.
Now here’s something the left-wing-nut media will never tell you; 18/19 of those filibustering senators were….democrats. The 19th was republican John Tower of Texas. Now PJ, I’m not really good at math, but that means that 94.7% of the...
