Our side is so stupid. When the Democrats controlled the Senate and tried to lift the filibuster, we should have let them. Not having that, and with no agenda passed, people looked upon the GOP as another do nothing congress.
I agree with you...you pass by majority vote and let the chips fall where they will...a mistake can be changed just as quickly should the results of legislation appear to send the nation sideways. The debate filibuster process allows for much corruption to flourish in the name of “thoughtful discourse”. Screw the cloture votes. And repeal the amendment for popular vote for the senate seats and let the state legislatures select their senators again...or at least make it three senators per state with one coming from the legislature.
