The announced came as Kate Cox, 31, was awaiting a ruling from the Texas Supreme Court over whether she could legally obtain an abortion under narrow exceptions to the state’s restrictive bans.
Republicans don’t want to end the filibuster for the same reason as Democrats: they are afraid Democrats will undo whatever they manage to pass.
And it’s laughable to suggest that they are worried about unpopularity, they pass unpopular laws all the time. Literally book banning is unpopular. Six week abortion bans are unpopular.

Sounds good. Maybe we should undo whatever Republicans pass. You don’t want to do that either, of course.
Republicans already have their mechanism for undoing things Democrats like: the courts and red states. You’ll happily let all of it go forever as long as Democrats have the only thing they care about: the Jim Crow Filibuster.
We’ve been going around in circles for some time now. You’re determined to support a stupid racist policy that serves almost exclusively to prevent civil rights legislation from passing. I’m done with this conversation. Thanks for the confirmation that the Dixiecrats never completely left the party.
