Stephen Colbert Suggests Getting Rid of Senate Following Dem’s Filibuster Failure: ‘I’m 100 Percent Serious’

CBS’s The Late Show host Stephen Colbert played sore loser on Monday’s show when he suggested getting rid of the U.S. Senate, calling it an “anti-democratic” institution following the Democrats’ failure to eliminate the filibuster.

Stephen Colbert was chatting with guest Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) when he made the bizarre suggestion. “If you can’t get rid of the filibuster… then what if we just get rid of the Senate? And I’m 100 percent serious here. It is the most anti-democratic institution next to the judiciary,” he said.

“No one will drop a single tear, ” he added. “I don’t understand what possible positive purpose the United States Senate provides right now.”

A visibly flustered Sen. Warren attempted a response. “I hear you,” she said. “We’re supposed to be the deliberative body… but so long as we’re tangled in the filibuster then we don’t get to do what the founders envisioned that we would.”

Sen. Warren conveniently side-stepped the fact that Democrats used the filibuster more than 300 times in 2020 when Republicans used it once. As Breitbart News reported, Democrats recently used the Senate filibuster to block a bill by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that would have sanctioned companies associated with Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Democrats have been trying to eliminate the Senate filibuster in an effort to ram through their “voting rights” legislation to federalize elections and roll back integrity measures like voter identification requirements. But their efforts failed after Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) said they won’t back the elimination of the filibuster.

Colbert referred to Sinema as “Mrs. Hamburglar” on Monday’s show.

See the fake news in action. That’s a real insurrectionist statement right there … don’t you think? So are they going to lock Commie Colbert up with the other so called insurrectionists? Ohhhh … never mind, how silly of me.

See the two way street? And Antifa wasn’t & isn’t just an idea. The fake news is part of that. We’re at war … just admit it.

What he and his fellow travelers really want is 'true democracy' where everyone in the US gets to online vote on everything. Need a new law, propose it, hold an online vote and big tech will tally up the results. What could possibly go wrong?

MARANTHA!! Even so, come LORD JESUS!!!
I have only watched this A$$ a couple of times, and then only about 8 minutes was all I could bear each time, but this is BEYOND THE PALE!!!

What an idiotic MORON!!

Yes>>>>>this is INDEED insurrection and a bid for tyranny!!
It is terrifying to me that anyone would be so totally IGNORANT of the purpose and function of each part of the legislative body!!

I am already nervous this morning>>>>which has been pretty unusual for me since I retired>>>>but this just brought the ole blood pressure to a max!!

Yes, yes and yes. It would bolster state's rights and take much power away from the party. That coupled with term limits would solve a lot of problems relating to a single party trying to take over the entire country. Getting rid of lobbyists would be in order to. There's no reason why a middle income first term senator should walk out of DC a gazllionaire after a couple terms.

Time to get rid of Colbert and other lib democrats who don't know that the U.S. is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy! I hope when all of this is straightened out and Biden is gone that all of the idiot liberal late show hosts are gone as well.

Well that won't work either, because what they truly want is THEIR WAY. So, eventually they will have to take away, by whatever means, the right to vote, by those that disagree with them.

That's not what he's after, or the rest of the commies. They're for anything that will force their agenda through. If they are in the minority, filibuster away. If they are in the majority, just ram it through. The ends justify the means.

When it suits you, act like you are the poor oppressed unwashed masses just trying to speak truth to power. Or, if preferable, act the role of complete tyrant bent on rule by decree for the good of the community.

Pocahontas needs to read her own words. "The deliberative body" includes the filibuster as a tool in its deliberations and it was - if I may pun through this one - deliberately created that way. What's wrong with the Senate is the 17th Amendment.

When that amendment was ratified, it destroyed the last remaining bastion of states' sovereignty which had been almost completely dismantled by Lincoln. It was a classic case of unintended consequences and should be more closely studied as an example of a well-intentioned law not being properly analyzed as to possible outcomes.

One suspects that in-depth study of the Constitution is out of favor these days, though. Even so-called constitutional scholars (think Barry Soetero) don't have a really good handle. The only one I'm aware of in the intellisphere is Levin.

Right now I'm thankful to God for Manchin and Sinema. I never thought I'd be rooting for them but politics does indeed make strange bedfellows.

Even though it was largely initiated by his own followers, it seems as if I recall reading that Jefferson said that partisanship was the worst thing to ever happen to this country in his lifetime. It might've been in John Adams' biography.

Those who cast the votes decide nothing, those who count the votes decide everything, hence big tech counting the votes. They will always get whatever they want. All you unvaxxed go to camps, see, we voted on it.

I think many especially of the younger generations will agree with him. The idea of changing existing institutions is very "progressive". There is no loyalty to these institutions or to things like the Constitution among these folks, unless they need to pay lip service to them (ie, that dastardly Jan 6 attack...).

Agreed. The issue is not whether big tech counts votes or if a programmable computerized counter such as Dominion counts them. The results will be the same.

Laws should be enacted that if votes are to be machine counted, they must be done by a dumb machine, one that tabulates only and cannot be programmed to alter the results or be linked by wire or wireless to anywhere else. The only other alternative would be a hand count, supervised by both parties.

It's not just lib democrats, it's also republicans and even Tom, Dick and Harry on the street. Due to our wonderful education system a lot of people don't know that we are a Constitutional Republic. But your idea is a very good start!

The software also has to be open source and available to be audited by the public. There are enough IP people around that could do that.
