On this post back in 2005, I argued, let the Republicans eliminate the Filibuster.

Out of 95 posts, not ONE of you supported it. You claimed we needed it to block Bush from packing the Supreme Court, well guess what ... he packed it anyway (from Cheney's short list of six candidates).
Now, we have about 50 fillibusters by the Republicans ... in less than 9 months.
Politics is only about Power. The Filibuster has consistently weakened the peoples power. I still recommend we eliminate it.
Please note: read the prior post, the full argument has been layed out, and it has played out exactly as predicted.
