What we have today is not a filibuster but the unconstitutional requirement for 60 votes to pass legislation. A true filibuster is holding the floor for constant debate while ALL OTHER BUSINESS STOPPED. Historically it was hard to keep up and was a rare thing. The Democrats are abusing the filibuster by requiring 60 votes on all legislation. It is time to eliminate it.
