let's talk about this so first of all
all of this is coming as a result of the
recently passed voting rights bill in
the house of representatives the voting
rights bill would do a few things it
would expand early and absentee voting
which usually means mail-in voting right
which some folks say favors the left and
the house of representatives is
obviously controlled by democrats this
bill would make it easier for people to
comply with state voter id laws make
automatic voter registration the
national standard and give people who
are incarcerated the right to vote after
they finish their sentences the bill
would also make or reinstate this
automatically the bill would also make
election day a national holiday
potentially allowing more folks who have
to work throughout the day the
opportunity to have time to go vote in
person if they so choose to the voter
rights bill has passed the house of
representatives but has not passed the
senate that's because it's standing in
the way of or it's being held up by
potentially the filibuster so what is
the filibuster and how does it work okay
quick explanation here's how it works
here's the voting rights bill it's a
bill on capitol hill it's just a bill
now in order to pass a bill you need
three things one you need the house of
representatives to pass it with 51
percent you need the senate
to uh pass the same bill usually they do
this through a reconciliation amendment
so that they have exactly the same bill
but that part doesn't matter you need
the senate to pass it and then once
these two things happen you need the
potus or the president of the united
states to sign the bill obviously house
of representatives controlled by dems
and potus they both want this bill so
obviously we'd expect that to pass
problem is the senate now technically
the senate only needs a simple majority
or 51 percent to actually pass a bill
since it's controlled 50 percent by
democrats and 50 by republicans kamala
harris the vice president would come in
break the tie for democrats and the bill
would pass the problem is in order to
end debate on the bill you actually have
to jump over here and do something known
as invoking cloture but invoking cloture
requires a 60 majority vote the extra 10
percent though are republicans who don't
want this bill to go through so why
would they vote to end debate now there
are two types of filibusters there's a
silent filibuster where you just
threatened to filibuster and then
there's an active talking filibuster
where you just go read like green eggs
and ham or something crazy now uh this
this is sort of the dynamic of what the
heck of the filibuster is so it fills
you in on this now the filibuster is a
rule and the rule does not take 60 days
to change in fact the rule could be
passed with a simple majority vote the
problem is you would need all democrats
on board to actually get this rule
passed and modified and you'd need joe
biden on board as well to sort of rally
the democrat troops and and make them
want to change this now initially during
the campaign joe biden said he would not
vote to change the filibuster remember
joe biden was a senator uh for a very
long period of time and he actually
believes in the institution of the
filibuster that the filibuster should
maintain and it's sort of a balance of
power in america and to some degree
imagine what happens if there is no
filibuster then what could democrats do
well they could do the same thing that
republicans could do if they ever took
control again which they might this
november who knows but democrats could
just pass through
tax increases through let's say the
build back better plan without any kind
of check on their power you could see
the voting rights act passed who knows
you could see cannabis legislation
passed you could see more green energy
legislation passed there are a lot of
democratic priorities that you could see
past without the check of balance of
essentially republicans now some say hey
democrats have control of all three uh
positions of power they should be able
to have that unchecked power but via the
rules of uh via the closure rule into
the filibuster rule that is untrue they
technically only have control of the
house of representatives and the
presidency but they technically do not
have full control of the senate which is
what they desperately want so that way
they can get their action through rather
than sitting still mated like we usually
see now joe biden again he was anti
ending the filibuster but he's recently
u-turned now he wants the filibuster to
be ended and he's joining chuck schumer
who has promised to hold a vote on
changing the filibuster rules on monday
the two biggest roadblocks though are
kirsten cinema and joe manchin joe
manchin's a little bit unknown in terms
of what he would do joe biden gave a
speech on thursday and says the
honest-to-god answer is i don't know
whether we can get this done without
ending the filibuster rule we're
changing the filibuster rule joe manchin
responded to this and said yeah the
president gave a very passionate very
good speech it was very human it was
very touching but when asked if he
changed his mind in the filibuster he
said joe biden did an excellent job so
we don't really have a direct answer
from joe manchin as to whether or not
you participate in changing the
filibuster rules but here's a very
direct answer democrat kirsten cinema of
arizona
who's needed a long joe manchin to get
this new rule changed sparked outrage
after she said she'll never vote to end
the filibuster she says i will not
support separate actions that worsen the
underlying disease of division affecting
or infecting our country
yikes big one this has led some of her
packs political action committees
originally supporting kirsten cinema to
do a complete 180 and now take that
money that is usually allocated for for
the candidate and direct that money
towards grassroots organizations who are
leading the fight to hold kirsten cinema
accountable
so uh just solely based on kirsten
cinema it does not look promising that
the filibuster would it would be ended
if the filibuster did get ended uh then
we would have the uh belief that okay
well democrats are probably going to
push through a lot of policies on green
energy uh possibly inflationary spending
and higher taxes via the buildback
better plan uh i would say that fears of
higher taxes and higher inflation would
probably both compound and lead the
market to fall substantially more so i i
would be under the impression that
ending the filibuster would be bad for
the market not a bullish thing however i
also don't expect that it would actually
end up going through what i do expect
