I would accept this argument if filibusters were what they implied: Everyone has to stay in session until the argument is over. Anything less than that is hypocritical eyewash. If all members of both parties are willing to stay in session until the debate ends, sleeping on cots, ready for a quorum call at a moments notice, then I would support a filibuster. But today's filibusters are merely legislative slights-of-hand made possible by an evil RAT party and a spineless Republican party locked in a demented dance on the corpse of American Democracy.
