The senate expected to take up the vote for people voting rights bill, that will be tuesday, but its future could be in limbo after senator mitch mcconnell voted to block that bill. Speaking on msnbc earlier, jim clyburn says republicans isn t be able to block this type of legislation. Voting rights, like all other constitutional rights are not subjected to filibusters and now this reducing from 60 from 55, they didn t get it from me.
