More From The Hamilton Corner With Abraham Hamilton III

“…so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”  Excerpted from Matthew 10:16 (ESV).

Congressman Trent Franks wrote a piece saying the Senate must end the tyranny of the minority and bypass the filibuster.

History proves the Democrats created the mechanism called Rule 22, the Motion to Invoke Cloture, that allowed them to control the Senate.

This rule, which isn’t in the Constitution, allowed Southern Democrats to block Civil Rights legislation in the past and allows Democrats to impede President Trump’s legislative agenda now.

What will it take for Republicans to get tired of being out-maneuvered by Democrats?

The future of the republic depends on the answer.
