no, you said those were the filibusters. i can read. but i can also do math. it makes perfect sense that if there are a lot more motions, that the minority party will respond in kind. but you are only considering the number of filibusters being the highest ever, without looking at the red line, which is the highest ever as well. but, in other instances you look at the red and yellow lines, and can see the difference in motions vs filibusters. so, again, the last lines do not indicate it's the 'worst ever'. like i said, blocking more than half of motions would be worse than blocking less than half, right? regardless of total numbers, that would be worse-wouldn't it?
