Before you start hating the filibuster, remember that without the threat of filibuster, the democrats would have converted this to the Peoples Republik of Amerika during the 60s and 70s.

You are behind the curve on this. No one has ever suggested ending the filibuster for all purposes, including legislation. Senator Frist has made this point so clearly and so often that even the MSM has reported in the last few days that nothing he is proposing would end the filibuster for anything except judicial nominees.
