Earl L. \"Buddy\" Carter (R-GA) today released the following statement supporting President Donald J. Trump\u2019s call to eliminate the Senate filibuster:\n\n\u201cPresident Trump is exactly right. The filibuster is killing our country. Democrats have turned it into a weapon to block America First policies, shut down our government, and stop progress for the American people. Enough is enough. It\u2019s time to end the obstruction, end the excuses, and end the filibuster.\u201d\n\nCarter said Republicans must stop playing by the old rules while Democrats use every trick to advance their radical agenda:\n\n\u201cThe American people don\u2019t care about career politicians\u2019 outdated swamp traditions. They want results. When President Trump fights, he wins. When Republicans fight with him, America wins. The Senate should act now: eliminate the filibuster, let us deliver on the President\u2019s agenda, and put our people first again.\u201d\n\nCarter also backed President Trump\u2019s call to end the outdated \u201cblue slip\u201d tradition that lets liberal senators block his nominees:\n\n\u201cBlue slips are just another swamp trick and a courtesy Democrats never return. President Trump deserves his team in place to clean up this mess, prosecute corruption, and restore law and order. It\u2019s time to end blue slips and let him get the job done.\u201d\n\nCarter called on Republicans to find their backbone and stand with the President:\n\n\u201cOnce again, President Trump is right. He\u2019s leading, showing real courage, and fighting for the PEOPLE while politicians make excuses. It\u2019s time for Republicans to do what they were elected to do, to stand with him, and to finish the job.\"", 1, "2026-04-07T15:46:19Z", "2026-04-07T20:18:39Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=15981"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3920108322054148, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
