Biden in 2005 said nixing the filibuster 'upsets the constitutional design' and would 'eviscerate the Senate'
Fox News
Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., spent over an hour on the Senate Wednesday night reading a 2005 speech from President Biden verbatim where he said eliminating the filibuster would “eviscerate the Senate.”
He said that ending the 60-vote hurdle would turn the Senate "into the House of Representatives." The Senate at that time was also split 50-50. George W. Bush was in office, meaning a Republican had the tie-breaking vote, Vice President Dick Cheney. Biden said at the time "the Senate ought not act rashly by changing its rules to satisfy a strong-willed majority acting in the heat of the moment."
