The fillibuster and 60-vote-for-everything games? The GOP needs to be slapped silly. Mitch McConnell just stood up there and lied this morning in his speech before the vote. But the Dems used it, too.

I think the Senate needs to change the house rules, and the one I like is that every three days, the votes required to break fillibuster lower. After three days, it doesn't take 60 to break, it takes only 59, then 58, etc.

Debate happens, but complete obstruction of our government - which is exactly what is happening now - is removed.

What degree do you hold that makes you an expert on Congressional procedures also?
