They really should get rid of the two-track rule, which instituted today’s non-filibuster filibuster. A true filibuster should shut down everything in the Senate, the way it used to prior to that rule. Let Schmucky Schumer stand in the floor of the Senate and read from Green Eggs and Ham to stop an eminently qualified judge from ascending to SCOTUS.

Without the two-track rule, there would be far fewer filibusters as well. The people desiring to filibuster will always have to wonder: should we really die on this hill by shutting down the Senate?

They need to stay in session 24/7 when the filibuster starts, and let it run as long as needed. But I know McC wouldn’t dare do that.

Something Schmucky this way comes.

Get rid of the two-track rule and let Schmucky hold up all business to talk an eminently qualified SCOTUS nominee to death. I dare him!

PING!
