The filibuster isn't a sacred piece of law rooted in the U.S Constitution. It isn't even a long-standing law. It happened as an accident when lawmakers wanted a way to cut off debate. Now Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is reportedly fearful that the Democrats will kill the procedure, reported The Intelligencer.
Since McConnell took over control in 2010, the Senate has crawled to a near-halt, passing only Republican legislation. McConnell even bragged about it, calling himself the "Grim Reaper" of government.
A Black man was fatally struck by a white man driving a pickup truck in a racist road rage encounter, according to witnesses.
