R.I.P. Scout26
Sasse, speaking for more than an hour, read Biden’s 5,000-word speech in character — which the then-Delaware Senator called at the time “one of the most important speeches for historical purposes that I will have given in the 32 years since I have been in the Senate.”Biden argued vociferously that ending the filibuster “would eviscerate the Senate and turn it into the House of Representatives.”“It is not only a bad idea, it upsets the constitutional design and it disservices the country,” the speech reads.
