In a GOP Senate, the purpose of the filibuster is to protect senators from voting against the wishes of their lobbyists on substantive legislation. Mitch McConnell uses the filibuster to keep legislation from getting passed by claiming he doesn’t have 60 votes ... when in reality he wouldn’t even have 50 if there was no filibuster.

This enables 51-59 establishment GOP jackasses to tell their voters that they support something ... while never being in a position where they have to cast a vote on it that matters.
