Dana is absolutely correct. By choosing to elevate a simple procedural rule (the filibuster) over the interests of the American people, including women’s rights, even supposed advocates for those rights in the Senate have revealed that what really matters to them is the pomp-and-circumstance of their roles — not doing the right thing. Regrettably women’s rights are treated as expendable in political dealmaking. To concede the inevitability of this in this case is to elevate form over substance.
