  • CNN's Scott Jennings ran this victory lap about Chuck Schumer and several other Senate Democrats giving Republicans the votes they needed to keep the government funded for another six months, Sunday morning on CNN's "State of the Union" panel.

The article from RealClearPolitics discusses how Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer played a pivotal role in defeating what the author describes as the Democrats' "racist Jim Crow filibuster." It highlights Schumer's efforts in pushing through voting rights legislation by overcoming the filibuster, a tactic historically used by Southern Democrats to block civil rights legislation. The piece argues that this action was significant in addressing long-standing voter suppression tactics, framing Schumer's involvement as a critical step in combating systemic racism within the legislative process. The narrative also touches on the broader implications of filibuster reform, suggesting that Schumer's actions could set a precedent for future legislative battles over voting rights and other civil liberties.
