The Filibuster Discourages Bipartisanship. The GOP Filibuster Of A Jan. 6 Commission Just Proved it.

Will this change the opinion of the remaining Democratic supporters of the filibuster?
For the first time in 2021, Senate Republicans filibustered a bill: the measure to create a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. It was a bipartisan bill to establish a bipartisan commission ― in theory, the kind of thing that might sail through a Senate that preaches the virtue of bipartisanship. But the filibuster, a Senate rule requiring 60 votes to advance a bill, allowed Republicans to kill the commission on Friday even though 54 senators voted to move forward and 35 senators voted in opposition. (Several senators missed the vote entirely.) This proves once and for all that the filibuster doesn’t encourage bipartisan compromise. It impedes it.
