Fellow Democrats lashed out at Sinema over the speech as 'bad history, bad policy, and bad politics.'
Sinema, whose defense of the filibuster rule helped prevent Democrats from advancing legislation protecting abortion rights, voting rights, labor rights and immigrants, also used her speech to call to strengthen the filibuster and give the Senate minority even more power. Sinema called to restore the 60-vote threshold to confirm federal judges and executive nominees, which McConnell and the GOP used to block many of former President Barack Obama’s nominees.
“Not everyone likes that,” she continued, “because it would make it harder for us to confirm judges and it would make it harder for us to confirm executive appointments in each administration, but I believe that if we did restore it, we would see more of that middle ground in all parts of our governance, which is what, I believe, our forefathers intended.”
