Notably, Klobuchar is one of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2021\/03\/08\/calls-end-filibuster-have-bigger-problems-than-joe-manchin\/\">number of Senate Democrats<\/a> who have embraced making changes to the filibuster or outright eliminating it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe challenges that are facing our country right now \u2014 now and over the next years \u2014 we just will get nowhere if we keep this filibuster in place,\u201d said the Minnesota Democrat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last week, the Supreme Court refused to intervene to stop the Texas \u201cheartbeat\u201d law from taking effect.
