ackchually the modern "filiibuster" is just mitch mcconnel saying "im filibustering that." They don't have to take the podium and continue to talk. This was changed because everyone in the senate is a fossil who couldn't stand for more than 10 minutes, but they all still wanted the excuse to do nothing.
I hate this "development" so much. At least Strom Thurmond had to piss on a bucket on the Senate floor while blocking civil rights for black people. Why do we let fuckers disrupt the process from the comfort of their orgy rooms
Yes, but also - it doesn't matter. In the Senate you need 50 votes in order to say that something can't be filibustered, then you need 50 votes to pass it. Democrats just did that with the debt ceiling in December. They passed a bill (with 50 votes + VP) that said you only need 50 votes in order to raise the debt ceiling. You can do whatever you want with 50 votes+VP in the Senate.
