After their little RAT sing-song tirade yesterday threatening Republicans, I would suggest doing it just out of spite of these traitorous communist bassturds.
They serve no useful purpose in government so just change the rules such that they might as well just go home to their communist enclaves and sulk.
To me it seems that the “senate rule” is there so that the senators will not be inconvenienced, kind of like the “symbolic” hunger strike that was held recently by the college kids who were allowed to eat if they got hungry.
Wasn’t the original intent of the filibuster to make the senators so uncomfortable that they would use it as a last resort? I know nobody wants to talk for hours and hours on end, and nobody wants to listen to it, but if they forced a real one, instead of this symbolic b.s., I don’t think we would see it bantered about so often. Also, in the case of a real one, the senators could just wait until the person talking had to go to the bathroom or passed out from exhaustion and immediately call a vote.
It seems to me that this is “senate rule” is just a snow job on the American people so that nobody has to own uncomfortable legislation, and so that each side can use these issues as a way to raise money. They can exempt themselves and we continue to suffer.
If all the Senators are elected by “mob rule”, then heck no.
