In 2005, Obama adamantly defended the filibuster that he and Biden say is a ‘Jim Crow relic’

(CQ Livingston) Who makes the best case against Joe Biden’s and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s push to end the filibuster? That would be young Senator Barack Obama, who gave an eloquent and accurate argument against Republicans lifting the filibuster in 2005.

That doesn’t seem to jibe with what Biden said during his “press conference” yesterday when he likened the filibuster rule in the Senate to a “Jim Crow relic.” It is not. It’s a rule that makes sense based on what Obama said 15 years ago:

Remember this video when you hear Obama, Biden, and the Democrats try to say the filibuster is racist. If you’re having a hard time wrapping your head around that notion, it’s because you’re not an idiot. Many on the left, however, are idiots and they’re going to buy the “Jim Crow” line like guppies.

“And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster, another Jim Crow relic, in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that’s what we should do,” Obama said last year.

The filibuster rule was designed to prevent majority party absolute rule. It forced Senators to come together with minority parties to better represent the will of all the people, not just a slight majority. Eliminating it now (or ever) removes an important part of our republic. But it’s not codified. It’s not part of the Constitution. It can be eliminated quite easily by a majority party. Past majority leader Mitch McConnell was called on to eliminate it several times, but refused.

The only thing stopping it from happening now is one Senator, West Virginia’s Joe Manchin. Biden is doing everything he can to bring Manchin over to the dark side, going so far as to hire Manchin’s wife to a cushy post.

Bloomberg reports that Biden is planning to nominate the wife of West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative “Blue Dog” Democrat and a critical senatorial swing vote, to a “regional economic development position.”

President Joe Biden plans to nominate Gayle Conelly Manchin — an educator and the wife of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, a key swing vote — to a regional economic development position after the lawmaker has emerged as a key swing vote in the chamber.

The White House said Friday that Gayle Manchin is Biden’s pick for federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership between the federal government and 13 states, including West Virginia, where the senator and his wife reside.

Nothing has changed in culture, policy, or situation that would require a change of heart by Barack Obama over the filibuster. His argument in 2005 against its elimination stands today. The only difference is Democratic desperation.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
