Attempts to establish a commission to investigate the events of January 6th were vanquished on the floor of the United States Senate Friday morning when a procedural vote to overcome a filibuster failed to gain the 60 votes necessary to move forward.
Even with a handful of Republican senators joining Democrats on the 54 to 35 vote, their support wasn t enough. The Democrats and their Republican accomplices went for broke and lost handing the GOP minority its first filibuster victory of the Biden presidency.
