Any attempts at filibuster from now on
Should be forced to filibuster 24/7. Wear them down, the way they are always trying to wear us down.

1. I couldn't agree more!
This should have been done a long time ago, make those idiots stay there and talk until they drop! Right now all they have to do is "threaten" to filibuster and the democrats back down. Put a stop to the insanity and make them do a good old fashioned filibuster!

3. The current rules of the Senate do not requrie a full filibuster.
You will have to get them to pass a change in the Senate Rules.

4. I wish someone would just sticky this.
I hate having to debunk the myth of the filibuster nearly every goddamn day.

5. How about having to go over all their facts until they get on wrong.
We get to ascertain where they get their facts and why they think our sources fail. Why why why.
