Just going to leave this here:
Well, tomorrow is here. Progressive groups are pushing her on this:
A coalition of more than 100 progressive groups in California is ramping up pressure on Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) over the filibuster ahead of a vote this week on a sweeping election bill.
The groups sent a letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Hill ahead of its release, to Feinstein on Monday urging her to "publicly acknowledge that our democracy is in danger," and support abolishing or reforming the 60-vote legislative filibuster in order to get the election legislation, known as the For the People Act, passed through the Senate.
"Senator, it is time for you to stand up for democracy - for yourself, for the citizens of California, and for the United States of America. Again, we ask that, in advance of this week’s procedural vote on the For the People Act, you publicly acknowledge that our democracy is in danger," the groups wrote.
"We also ask that you publicly affirm that you will do everything in your power to help pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act through all means possible, including, if necessary, through abolishing, reforming, or providing an exception to the Senate filibuster," they added.
Feinstein is a co-sponsor of the For the People Act, which would place national requirements on ballot access and, among other things, change the composition of the Federal Elections Commission, place tighter rules on congressional redistricting, overhaul campaign finance and establish new ethics requirements for the president and vice president.
FYI:
Feinstein was previously criticized by liberals for not wanting to abolish the legislative filibuster in order to pass the voting rights legislation — a position out of step with other Senate moderates. Sen. Angus King, an independent from Maine who caucuses with the Democrats, stated that he views Republican voting restrictions as an "attack" on democracy, and that, "if forced to choose between a Senate rule and democracy itself, I know where I will come down."
Unlike King, Feinstein said last week she does not see democracy "as being in jeopardy right now," drawing considerable ire from members of her party for that remark.
The statement her office released Monday seemed to backpedal a bit.
"These new voter suppression laws undermine our democracy and can’t be allowed to stand," the statement reads. “The right to vote is a bedrock principle of our democracy. Unfortunately, many states with Republican-controlled legislatures are using unfounded conspiracy theories of voter fraud as an excuse to pass laws to weaken that fundamental right."
If you are a California Kossack like myself, please do contact Senator Feinstein’s office and demand she come out in support of getting rid of the filibuster to protect voting rights.
