Bill Frist and the Republicans considered making this change back in 2005 but
didn’t. They were trying to get President Bush’s nominees approved.

Originally both the House and Senate had unlimited debate. The House later implemented
limited debate as the number of members grew.

In 1917 the Senate adopted Rule 22 limiting debate with the consent of 67 members. In
1975 that was changed to the consent of 60 members. Now the number is a majority
for some items and the 60 remains for other items.

A Republic If You Can Keep It An essay by Kelleigh Nelson from August 6, 2013 this is an excerpt;

"H. L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic, and Democrat. He wrote this editorial while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920, edition: "As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron." —H. L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Ben Franklin was right when he stated, "We've given you a Republic, if you can keep it." We haven't kept it, and the total destruction is almost complete. Every day our state and federal governments pass more egregious and abusive laws negating our God given freedoms and the Bill of Rights. The speed at which our Constitution is being destroyed is impossible to keep up with, much less trying to urge fellow citizens to stand up against this travesty."

She goes on to make some very good points about among other thing the Tea Party.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Meanwhile, we have a spineless, gutless Congress who do nothing to stop this tyranny.
