Do you know if it's too late to rewrite the rules of the Senate to require an actual filibuster (Mr. Smith style) in lieu of the lame procedural filibuster currently employed?No, it's not too late-as long as you have 67 votes to do so.

Thanks. I guess it's safe to say that that particular rule won't be changed any time soon.

Why 67? Why not 51, or a ruling from the President of the Senate?
