Why do you not support the filibuster?

I think it is a valuable tool.

Anything that stops the government from making more and more ‘legislation’ is fine with me.

To: Mr. K

There have been long debates on free republic over the years, and articles from both sides posted.

My basic reason is that I consider it a covert amending of the Constitution.

For example: what if the senate rules had an addition that says that the presence of the VP counts in a quorum determination?
