Both domestically and internationally the ideas of a USA supreme status is being brought back by President Biden at every turn. President Biden isn't turning his back on reality when addressing voting rights.

A coalition of voting rights groups (click here) in Georgia announced Monday that they will not attend events surrounding President Joe Biden's expected visit to Atlanta.
Cliff Albright, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, and representatives of several voting rights groups are urging Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to remain in Washington on Tuesday if they don't have a clear plan to advance voting rights legislatio
n."We don't need even more photo ops. We need action, and that action is in the form of the John Lewis Voting Rights (Advancement) Act as well as the Freedom to Vote Act, and we need that immediately," Albright told reporters on Monday.
Some of the groups urging Biden to skip his Atlanta trip are the Asian American Advocacy Fund, GALEO Impact Fund Inc. and New Georgia Project Action Fund....
President Biden has a keen sense of fairness. The fact voting rights in the states. The Republicans are going to have to stop cheating and lying in order to win elections.
The US Senate filibuster is simply wrong. It has no place in law no matter it's form. Returning the Senate filibuster to it's HISTORICAL parameters is the correct thing to do at this time. A TALKING filibuster allows the Senate minority to be heard. That was the original purpose of the Senate filibuster. The minority wanted to voice their points when attempting to defeat any bill brought to the Senate floor for a vote.
Today, the changes of the Senate filibuster that allows unlimited pressure on the Senate rights to pass effective legislation for the country is a violation of the Rule of Law. A US Senate filibuster should never have more power than the USA Constitution and it currently does.
The current US Senate filibuster erases the right of the Rule of Law. US Senate rules are supposed to enhance the practices in the US Senate to do the people's business. The current form of the filibuster is not a worthy instrument and prohibits the purpose of the Senate and it's ability to pass laws to benefit the country.
I support President Biden and his willingness to establish sound practices within governance that supports the will of the people to bring fairness to US Senate proceedings.

President Biden (click here) will endorse changing Senate rules to pass new voting rights protections during a speech in Atlanta on Tuesday, the most significant step he will have taken to pressure lawmakers to act on an issue he has called the biggest test of America’s democracy since the Civil War.
Mr. Biden will not go so far as to call for full-scale elimination of the filibuster, a Senate tradition that allows the minority party to kill legislation that fails to garner 60 votes, according to a senior administration official who previewed the speech. But Mr. Biden will say he supports a filibuster “carve-out” in the case of voting rights, the official said.
Citing “repeated obstruction” by Republicans, Mr. Biden will endorse changing the Senate rules, the official said, and the president will contend that the filibuster has protected “extreme attacks on the most basic constitutional right.”
“The next few days, when these bills come to a vote, will mark a turning point in this nation,” Mr. Biden will say on Tuesday, according to a preview of his remarks provided by the White House. “Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadow, justice over injustice? I know where I stand.”...
The Senate Republicans don't want the filibuster to be returned to it's original purpose because they like to bring OBSTRUCTION to the practices of the US Senate and that is simply unethical.
