on the filibuster

[miraja2]

I am certainly sympathetic to arguments such as:

"When Democrats have filibustered Republicans in recent years, they have very often represented more Americans than the Republican majority; the same is almost never true in reverse."

But, on the whole, I still wish the filibuster would be eliminated completely. Arguing that the undemocratic filibuster is a good thing because it can sometimes act to correct the undemocratic nature of the Senate strikes me as something of a strained argument.
