'Manchin's inability to attract Republican support for his voting rights bill underscores how, more typically, the filibuster halts action on contentious issues altogether. That's why his Democratic colleagues keep trying.' | Analysis
Washington In 1947, the year Joe Manchin was born, the US Senate killed voting-rights legislation -- again. The"gravedigger," liberal Democrats complained, was filibuster rules empowering its opponents.
Today, as 74-year-old Manchin serves his second Senate term, the chamber stands poised to bury his voting rights proposal the same way. But this time there's a twist: The West Virginia Democrat, by continuing to support the filibuster, himself serves as sponsor and gravedigger alike.That incongruity keeps alive a continuing closed-door effort by fellow Democrats and the White House to change Manchin's mind on the filibuster. Even those involved concede it's a long shot.
