1. I have a problem with short-term memory
We liked the filibuster when the Repubs were in power and many, myself included, wished they would have used it more. Now that we are in power, we want it gone? We sound like the Republicans 6 years ago.

I think we need to go to the old rules. If you want to filibuster, then you better clear your bowels, dehydrate yourself so you don't have to piss, and get your ass up there and keep talking if you want to filibuster. This "well, we filibuster" option is just too damn easy. If Strom Thurman can muster the will power to filibuster, then everyone else should.
