I’m OK with a real filibuster. It is the phony filibusters of recent years that have stalled the Senate. IMO, the phony filibuster is a very visible demonstration of the Senators priorities. They would much rather be having cocktails and being entertained by $1,000 hookers paid for by their handlers than actually stand on the floor and fight for a principle.

Democrats are not equipped to actually filibuster. They are only prone to threaten a filibuster, depending on RINOs getting scared and backing out at the threat.

Make them really do. 24/7 for as long as it takes. Democrats are only equipped for whining, not doing real, constructive work.

I agree. Make them do a real filibuster. Don’t use the nuclear option. That will just allow the dems to use it against them in the future. The GOP needs to learn to play yard all.
