What the hell was the election of keeping the senate for if not to bring the talking filibuster back and try to end this obstructionism?? Let's see how this "experiment" works and if it doesn't help in bringing bills to the floor faster then out with harry. Who should replace him?? Brown, Schumer, Boxer?? Any other suggestions??
