GET RID OF THE FILLIBUSTER, NOW!

[PhilosopherKing]

If you want a fight Republicans, you got one! This should be the message for the Democrats, Pronto.

[Skink]

1. Can they filibuster getting rid of the filibuster?

[Bitwit1234]

2. AND the cloture vote. I think it should be majority RULE.

[aquart]

3. At the moment I would like to get rid of the Senate.

They don't bring out the love in me.

[madokie]

5. They make me have a tendency

to think about choking the living shit out of every one of them. No not literally agent Mike :-)

[aquart]

15. I would settle for putting them in the stocks and throwing feces at them.

Somebody needs to get punished for something.

[Luciferous]

6. +1

[Edweird]

4. I think that's more than just a teeny bit shortsided.

[Mojambo]

7. Lets try making them filibuster for once and see what happens

Make the Republicans take a stand against legislation and then spend every single hour that they're doing it talking about what the legislation they're opposing would actually do for people.

It's a HUGE opportunity for Democrats.

[Gman]

8. Be careful what you ask for

you just might get it and end up being very sorry you got it.

[Surely]

9. no

Then when republicans eventually take over again we will have a wholesale removal of a lot of government programs.

[Luciferous]

10. Exactly

[timeforpeace]

11. As long as there's a provision for its automatic reinstatement when they have the majority again.

[bridgit]

12. No, no, no - you have it all back-ass-ward - encourage republicans to filibuster that's fine...

Just make them filibuster in the ways their policies create GOP images :thumbsup:

[AlinPA]

13. We may need the filibuster next year when the rightwing takes over the senate. After the

SCOTUS decision, corporations will spend billions to get the senate into the republicans' control. With those dirty pigs in there, we will be wishing we had a way to stop them.

[RedCloud]

14. Teabaggers are very pissed off about that decision BTW.

So don't think that the SC-5 will get away with political murder so easily.

[DFLforever]

16. Let's forget this is a double-edged sword.

and can be used to repeal all our legislation when the Repukes gain control again.

[Ozymanithrax]

17. At this point, they would need 66 votes to change the rule...

Yea, that is going to happen.
