You are exactly right. Also, I would like to see the rules changed so that whoever was filibustering would have to stand up there and hold the floor 'til they dropped. Like Jimmy Steward had to do in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington...

A lot of those old goats like Byrd would drop dead if they had to do that. That could be a good thing.

AND, I'd like to see buzzers in play. Anyone who repeats an argument gets the buzzer. Maybe we can turn the senate into The New Gong Show. If we can't get results out of them, they might as well be entertaining.
