The filibuster! I hated it at times but ultimately understand why it is a an option for any member of Congress. The founding fathers understood that it would not be as easy to do backroom deals and payoff congressional members for votes if they had to have 60 votes instead of 51. You do not get a filibuster on bills that are non partisan ect. You get it when there is a fundamental transforming bill that is partisan. It is there to protect us from radical bills. Easier to buy votes to get 51 than 60. Its not about majority rule its about States rights. No matter where you stand politically you should be PISSED OFF!!!!
