There once were good arguments against suspending the filibuster rule. There are no more good arguments left. When the filibuster became a handshake and vicarious it had no more usefulness. When cloture was reduced to 60% it divested it of much of its relevance. When the Democrat became totally mono-ideological the filibuster makes no more sense. When Democrats suspend it when they need to suspend it for particular measures or confirmations then it has become totally a one way deal only useful to keep Republicans in their place. Get rid of it. Republicans will resist dumping it because republicans are part of the Democrats’ Opposition party and want the rule to short circuit measures they politically feel they have to vote for.

cloture is nothing but a ruse, where a congressrat can appear to vote one way while actually voting the opposite.

Face it, most dumbocrap crackhead illegal hoodie voters could NEVER understand the concept.
