The House of Representatives now needs to get the 60 in the Senate. So I like what Schumer said, dead on arrival. Absolutely. But what's not dead is we are. We have arrived at a moment in time when there's so much other vandalism that's going on that's so reminiscent of what happened after Reconstruction as it relates to Voting Rights act, civil Rights acts, issues related to trying to turn back the clock on districting, mid decade redistricting, rigging, the gerrymander. which is again you in your book as well. And I'll ask people to remember at the time most of what this book is about. (46:00–46:18)
