Why talking filibuster & other reforms might be better than carve-out for voting rights bills
https://www.thedailybeast.com/democrats-can-save-voting-by-bringing-back-the-mr-smith-filibuster
The author argues that burden-shifting (i.e., bill opponents must have 41 votes at all times) and talking filibuster (bill opponents must continuously speak to the bill) would be better to get voting rights bill passed in the Senate.
“…media scrutiny would not favor the Republicans. In 1964, Strom Thurmond and other segregationists tied up the Senate for 75 days in a futile effort to kill the Civil Rights Act. As the obstruction dragged on, support for the bill grew.”
