"The Democrats' latest justification for eliminating the filibuster is Republicans' unwillingness to pass partisan election-reform legislation. Democrats have filed these bills numerous times over numerous years, almost always without seeking Republican involvement in drafting them," Romney wrote. All Democrats would have to be on board with making such a change, as Democrats have the slimmest of majorities in the Senate. Romney chastised Democrats for flip-flopping on the issue and rejected the claim that the filibuster is racist, specifically targeting former President Barack Obama's use of this argument after he previously defended the filibuster. If Democrats eliminate the filibuster now, they -- and the country -- may soon regret it very much," he wrote.
