18. A REAL filibuster could be a PPV event because It would be so popular.
If it was turned into a physical ordeal no senator would do it.

13. Yep. And it would NOT REQUIRE A RULE CHANGE. Just the majority leader following
the rules.

14. Abso-fucking-lutely.
I have said this for some time. Too many people are under the impression that the old way is somehow not in the rules. It is. It's just that the majority leader has decided to bend over when the minority says they will filibuster. Dems need to grow a spine and MAKE them ACTUALLY filibuster. Go nuts, asshats.

17. I like the "keep them there on christmas day" idea.
You can go home when you vote to extend the sub-$250k tax cut, assholes.
