Reply #23: Shitload of people on DU for starters. [View All]

Olbermann and Rachel keep mentioning it too. Don't listen to Air America much these days, but I'm guessing it's been mentioned there a few times.

But this is DU, so I won't be a bit surprised if somebody pipes up to tell me it's a great thing that we cower at the word "filibuster" and don't even bother to make them go through with it, effectively raising the bar to 60 votes for any legislation to pass in the senate. Won't be surprised at all.
