In the Senate, I'm committed to reforming the Filibuster so we can actually move legislation to the floor and up for an up or down vote. What really brought this home was that We were not able to get an up or down vote on legislation like the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Right. It's literally the Voting Rights act of the 1960s. Updated has not gotten an up or down vote. (02:49–02:55)
