Whoops. The Senate can and will filibuster because apparently at least two senators have a clue about economics.

----

"Tariffs are a tax on American families," tweeted Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.).

"Border security yes, tariffs no. Mexico is 3rd largest trading partner. Any tariff we can levy they can levy. Huge barrier to econ growth," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) tweeted.

Graham then took a lighter approach: "Simply put, any policy proposal which drives up costs of Corona, tequila, or margaritas is a big-time bad idea. Mucho Sad," he wrote.

Can the Dems in the Senate filibuster this sort of legislation?

If they cannot. Let's see. I wonder what Mexico will do. Tariffs on US goods, perhaps?
