Arizona s Former GOP AG Says Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin Should Abolish Filibuster or Resign
On 6/4/21 at 9:00 PM EDT
Former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods urged Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Senator Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) to agree to kill the filibuster or resign from office on Friday.
Sinema and Manchin have both faced heavy criticism for the opposition to eliminate or change the rule, which effectively requires most bills to have the support of 60 senators in a chamber that is currently split 50-50. Republicans used the rule for the first time in the Senate s current session last week to block the formation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the violent January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.
