“On Tuesday evening, President Biden urged Congress to get moving on federal police reform. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed the House in March, but Republicans have filibustered it in the Senate—primarily over a provision to change qualified immunity, the doctrine that protects law enforcement officers who brutalize people from civil liability. The bill would also ban deadly chokeholds and no-knock warrants, restrict the flow of military-grade equipment to state and local agencies, and create a national police-misconduct registry, among other measures.”

The purpose of the filibuster rule, as we all know, is to promote bipartisanship among obstructionists. And, of course, to SAVE BABIES!
