“The Democrats voting rights legislation, is mired by a GOP filibuster in the Senate. The chamber’s Democrats plan to press ahead this week with an effort to pass the legislation, even though it appears, according to the New York Times, ‘all but dead’.
Come on, guys, don’t give up the fight! Do not get discouraged – in the Senate, there are a lot of things that appear all but dead, (cut to a photo of Mitch McConnell, Chuck Grassley and other elderly senators.) Democrats plan to push ahead with a vote anyway to put on record who’s for and against voting rights.
That’s right, because once you know which politicians are keeping you from being able to vote, you can vote them out – and, I see the problem. That’s a toughie. The GOP filibuster of critical voting rights protection has drawn the ire of even musician Stevie Wonder, who this week released a scathing YouTube video calling on Republicans senators to ‘cut the bull-tish.’
I want to thank Stevie Wonder for standing up for democracy and swearing in a way I can air on my CBS television show. You, sir, are one bad mother-trucker. Senators, you know how hard it is to make Stevie Wonder that angry? The meanest thing he’s ever said up till now is ‘you’re just my part-time lover.’” —Stephen Colbert
