“If the Democrats want to shut down government, then MAKE THEM FILIBUSTER ON THE FLOOR LIKE WE USED TO.”

Yup, it would help to make it clear who is shutting it down and why - for the illegals, not for Americans.

I would be happy if *ALL* filibusters REQUIRED somebody to actually speak. If it isn’t worth shutting down EVERYTHING for, it shouldn’t be filibustered. Requiring 60 votes should only be for the very most extreme and dangerous things, such as declaring war or raising taxes.
