A vote. on tuesday, senate majority leader chuck schumer will bring the two floors together for a vote. he then promises to hold a vote to push through the rule change to allow for a simple majority vote. that effort will fail, too. so, where does that leave us? quite honestly, i dont know. but, history is neither linear nor on a perpetual trajectory of advancement. the revered civil rights movement that dr. king led and where we are right now are proof of that. 1776 might be the birth year of t...
