Not so long ago Republicans wanted to abolish the filibuster in the Senate! They wanted an up er down vote on everything, claimed it was only "fair." Now they’re ready to filibuster every bill, demand 60 votes to pass anything of controversy.
I still defend the filibuster, it serves a purpose, an important one. But dammit, if they want to do that, make them stand on the Senate floor and explain why! Make them keep splainin till they wind up reading the f-ing phone book at 3:00 AM!
If they want to stand in front of the American public and say why they're saying no, fine, let them. Go for it! And if Democrats have to stand there and say why they're wrong, that's fine too, that's what we pay them for.
I say its time to change the Senate rules back to where they were. If they want to filibuster, make them stand and deliver.
That I have no problem with.
I'm out of patience with the crap they're delivering.
