A) Graham on if Dems alter the filibuster: There would be an effort to pack the Supreme Court. There'd be an effort to make Puerto Rico and D.C. a state. There'd be an effort to do away with the Electoral College
B) Graham: You need 60 votes under the current rules of the Senate to get on legislation that's called cloture. They're not going to get 60 votes. They're not going to get one Republican.
C) Graham: And that's when Senator Schumer will try to get the parliamentarian, the presiding officer, to change the rules. And what he will do, he will try to make an exception of the legislative filibuster for this one piece of legislation that ever happened.
D) Graham: That's the beginning of the end of the filibuster. The dam will break. And as of this moment, Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema say they will not be part of that
E) Graham: President Trump constantly asked us to change the rules because a lot of things he wanted to do and I want to do, we couldn't get done. And that's that's the price you pay to allow the minority voice to exist
