To me, the only change needed for the filibuster should be to make it a real filibuster. If you can keep talking, you can keep a vote from happening. If you are committed, you can slow things down.

I’m actually cutting Mitch some slack for now. I have to give him credit for not buckling on Obama’s SCOTUS nominee. Maybe with Trump’s encouragement he will grow a spine.

But Senate Republicans are openly skeptical about making a rules change they believe could come back to bite them, when they are inevitably back in the minority...

YOU MORONS!

That is a certainty, no matter what you do. Legal or not.
