(Don't let Harry Reid read this) There is a simple way to do this without changing the rules. Force actual filibusters. No more mailing in the prepaid reply card with the "Filibuster" block checked. Make the filibustering party actually hold the floor 24 hours a day. Knowing the Republicans, they'll fold sometime around 8:45am.

I told the Republicans the same thing when they held the majority, but I wouldn't expect the Dems to fold that quickly.

8:45AM? Does Congress start at 8:30? My guess is it’ll end at 3:30PM, the filibuster having started after lunch at 1:30. It’ll start after lunch, so there’s time in the morning to tell everybody not to show up in the afternoon. 3:30 leaves time to get to the bathroom, before the slow stroll to happy hour at the bar.
