To: Political Junkie Too

That legislative day thing was always stupid.

Each Senator can offer either amendments to a bill, or raise a point of order. Each of either is entitled to 2 speeches during the day from each Senator. There are no limits on points of order.

It doesn’t work and never did. You have to look into the 2 speech rule to understand all this crap from people.

It doesn’t stop a filibuster. Cloture does.

BTW all the other crapola about “The Dems would never hesitate to use the nuclear option” was proven false when they had to accept Obamacare rather than the single payer plan they wanted.

Only the Filibuster prevented that.
