Ah, thread killer are you? Nah, I didn't place it in the hot (but wrong) groups so it never got the views like those around it. I should have placed it in breaking and risked the wrath of the mods.

I'm glad you posted the history and hope that isn't why you think the thread died :(

Readers should think for a minute on Lyndon Johnson's style of running the senate when they think about perpetuating this one vote filibuster method. Can't run the nuclear option when you can't get the bill to the floor. Further, the Historian is correct when he says the use has morphed from its original purpose into a black hole feature. LBJ would eviscerate a Senator holding up legislation he wanted for his majority. Frist would, well ... my mother always told me ...

I've been known to be now and then. I'm glad it wasn't me this time.

The more I learn about LBJ the less I like him. Some Texans just ain't Texans, if you get my meaning.
