Opinion | JoyceWhiteVance: It shouldn’t still be necessary to protect Americans’ right to vote almost 250 years into our country’s existence.
It’s difficult to comprehend how some Democrats could be more intent on preserving the filibuster than the fundamental right of the people they represent to vote.
Biden may not have addressed this roadblock directly, but he at least seemed to acknowledge its presence. He said, “We have the tools. The question is, do we have the will.” While Biden didn’t specify how Democrats would get past the seemingly impenetrable 60-vote barrier in the Senate, there are some options. The most likely possibility at the moment is being advocated for by influential South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, a Democrat, who has called for a “carve-out” that would exempt voting rights legislation from the filibuster. But Democrats like West Virginia Sen.
Republicans will undoubtedly cry foul and subject any voting rights legislation Democrats pass to rigorous scrutiny in the courts. But there is no real choice to be made when the voting rights of all Americans are at stake. There is only obligation, and duty and love of country.The right to vote is essential to what makes us Americans.
