56. Passionate post!
However so full of ignorance on how the senate actually works as to be an utter failure of conclusions.

You should start by looking into the rules of our governing bodies. For instance rules on the filibuster can only be changes at the beginning of each legislative session not "at any time" as you try to assert.

Also they tried to change the rules this session and the best they could do was change them so that you could no longer do secret holds where you don't even have to give a name of who wants to filibuster to hold up legislation.

Until you actually see the reality of how our government is run and the rules it goes by I don't see much hope in you making any informed decisions at all. In fact all i see is more bloviating about calling it how you see it despite the fact that your vision is clouded by emotional responses not at all based on reality.

Aside from that its a cool story you spun.
