You know that one Senator crap has its roots in the fillibuster. But these lamebrains today do not have enough confidence in their own abilities to even mount a fillibuster. No longer is an actual fillibuster event required. The 60 votes is the number of Senators required to vote to end debate, so they use all the rules they set up to handle a fillibuster without ever mounting one. Pussies. Look, I'm paying for a darn fillibuster - I want to hear one! The day the fillibuster again is required is the day the Senate is again under the control of the majority.

They use all the phoney-baloney rules about fillibusters so they don't have to mount one. That way people don't actually see them for what they are - it's pathetic. I say, you want to fillibuster - then go for it. What a bunch of pansies. I hate the Senate.
