Fixing the Filibuster - The Rachel Maddow Show

[78booby]

put that senator, whoever filibusters, under a great big microscope, and ask him/her why? would you 'filibuster' this bill?

[KLD2929]

You want to change the filibuster just so you can push more progressive spending bills through without the approval of the people. You wanting us to scream louder at you? Maybe we could have passed this and had someone get up there and read the healthcare bill since none of you read it before passing it anyway.

@KLD2929 YES! We want the filibuster to mean more debate, not more bills being killed just because the other party proposed them!

Great job, Jeff. I hope this goes forward.

This seems like a better solution than lowering the threshold for cloture as others have proposed.
