I’ve always hated the filibuster rule. I know the Constitution says the Senate can make their own rules. But I always interpreted that as within the rules already outlined by the Constitution. So the 60 vote Senate rule violates the Constitution’s Article 1 rule of laws being passed with simple majority vote.

It used to be 67 votes, until Mondale.
