I really like the proposals for a decreasing amount of votes necessary for cloture over time. That means fillibuster can occur, but limits the neverending obstructionism.
I thought the article good, but the argument flawed. The Senate isn't supposed to represent majority population rule. Two votes per state, regardless of population.
