The only thing that should happen with the filibuster, is to make them actually stand there and make the speech. None of this just saying that I’m filibustering.

Conservatism is a scarcity of government intrusion into life.

The filibuster is an obstacle to government intrusion into life. It should be kept into place because it makes it difficult to pass laws. That makes it a conservative feature of government.

Were it not for the filibuster, we would have lost a great many freedoms during periods of time of democrat presidents and Democrat congress. They also had senators who refused to undo it. Will they again? Probably. They probably will have their own array the senators who refused to undo it, and for the same reason.
