Make the Dems do a real filibuster first.

Somewhere I read that they can't do this, because it's not part of the Senate rules that were agreed to at the start of the session. To require a "real filibuster" would require putting that requirement in the rules at the start of the next session.

It would be better to change that rule than to change the filibuster rule.
