What’s wrong with a filibuster?

It sucks when we are on the wrong side of it, but it is great on the other end (which we are now).

Another reason why there have been more filibusters is that the senate has created “filibuster light”. Now, all a senator has to do is to SAY that he’s going to filibuster, and the senate caves. That way, no senator misses a single night between his/her silk bed sheets.
