procedure combat teams use as they prepare to breach a building and it s instantly recognizable to any soldier or marine who has served. looking at that level of coordination, it s frightening to see just how close we came to a coup and a year later, our democracy remains at risk. today, that risk isn t from a group of men making their way up the capitol steps but from a coordinated, nation-wide attack on voting rights in this country. tomorrow, the u.s. marks martin luther king jr. day, every year we celebrate the life, work and legacy of the civil rights giant, but tonight, on the heels of another federal voting rights failure, i want to play these words from king in 1963. i think the tragedy is that we have a congress with a senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.
