Tweet - "Senator Strom Thurmond used the filibuster to try and block the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Today, it's still an obstacle to equal access to the ballot box. The right to vote in free and fair elections must be safeguarded over all else. Without it, we lose our democracy."

Tweet - "I think it is very clear, if we can make an exception to the filibuster rules for budgets, we ought to be able to make it for any civil or voting right that exists. If the President wants to keep the filibuster, fine, but let's do away w/ it for civil rights and voting rights."
