Vice President Kamala Harris recently called for eliminating the Senate filibuster rule in order to override state laws on abortion.

Yet as Breitbart pointed out, even some of the vice president's fellow Democrats have turned against the idea. 

Harris: "I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe"

Harris' made the demand during an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio on Tuesday, saying, "I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe."

"To actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body and not have their government tell them what to do," she added.

However, that suggestion was not well received by Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Jack Reed, who cast doubt it when speaking with The Hill.

"We should approach it very carefully because what goes around comes around. That’s one of the few permanent rules of the United States Senate," Reed remarked.

"I think it would be good to have a national abortion [law] to protect the reproductive freedom of women, and I think we should try to get it, but I don’t think the first procedure would be to change the rules of the Senate," he stressed.

Reed recalled how Democrats removed the filibuster for lower court appointments, after which Republicans did the same for Supreme Court nominees.

"We said, 'Let’s reduce it to 50 [votes] for just circuit and district judges.' And when the Republicans took over, they said, ‘Let’s do it for Supreme Court justices, too.' And I think it’s really affected the quality of the court," Reed noted.

Colorado Democratic Sen. John Hickenlooper expressed hesitation as well, telling The Hill that "the first effort would be to go and pass it, get it done with 60 votes."

Harris once pledged to defend the filibuster

Meanwhile, Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton highlighted the fact that Harris once joined her colleagues in voicing support for the filibuster.

"Kamala wants to abolish the filibuster, but here's the letter she signed as Senator pledging to support the filibuster to ensure the Senate "continues to serve as the world's greatest deliberative body," Cotton wrote.

"Her word is meaningless," the Republican lawmaker wrote before going on to allege that Harris will "say anything to get elected.
