But, what if your senators are morons (Washington State)?

Dude! Well, then you should call and tell them that you're, like, a long-time Dem from Seattle and you want them to vote to let a simple majority break a filibuster because, ya know, that will let GWB get his judicial nominations through and then that will help the GOP torpedo themselves because, like, everyone will wake up to how, like, totally evil and un-American the GOP really are and they'll all vote Democrat next election. But if the Senate, like, keeps up this filibuster stuff, then the GOP can totally continue to foment their evil behind the scenes as they have for the last forty years and they'll keep getting reelected because, like, Americans won't be able to see their evil for themselves.

So, the filibusters just totally have to be able to be ended by a simple majority vote so, like, the GOP evil can be totally exposed and exorcised. Okay?
