Although the Republican leadership’s proposed rules were largely a copy-paste of the rules for the 118th Congress, there are some changes. One major difference has to do with the procedure for removing the Speaker, which played a key role in the 118th Congress. Previously, any single member of Congress could bring up a resolution to remove the Speaker. Now, nine Republicans have to co-sponsor such a resolution for it to be considered. This strengthens the hand of the Speaker significantly and also undermines the ability of a majority of the House of Representatives to change who is serving as Speaker.
They didn’t “run out of time” for voting rights and campaign finance reform. It was literally the first bill the house passed in 2021 but because of the filibuster it went no where in the senate. Should they have gotten rid of the filibuster to try and pass it? Sure, but they didn’t “run out of time”.
Minimum wage wise is a different type of stupidity with the senate parliamentarian but even if that was fixed Manchin and Sinema wouldn’t have voted for it. And of course they didn’t even try with student loan forgiveness in congress cause they had hoped for being able to do what Biden tried to do, forgive up to 20k if you got pell grants. Which was then stopped by federal courts. Courts with republican/Trump appointed judges. Again, even with these they didn’t “run out of time”.
So basically, the problem is two fold, the filibuster fucks shit up when democrats are in power, and the voters continue to not give the democrats a big enough majority that would allow for being able to take the hit of a senator or two not wanting to vote for legislation or dont give them a super majority so the filibuster doesn’t come into play. And even when they do eventually get that, like they sorta did in 2022, they lose control of the House so can’t do shit.
