Filibusters are bureaucratic gobbledygook. It's a Senate rules tool, not part of the Constitution and certainly not part of any democratic process.

Filibusters serve to block a majority vote, just the opposite of democracy. It's no wonder all the lefties now like it.

Laz, the dems think the US Constitution is a living breathing Doc (that also can take into account foreign Laws), while the rules of the Senate are cast in stone and can't be changed

As Bill already noted, "Filibusters serve to block a
majority vote, just the opposite of democracy."

The libs current position about the filibuster of judicial
nominees, the so called "nuclear option", is just another
disinformation campaign. Internet blogs have done a fantastic
job of exposing the lies from leading liberal politicians &
the complicity of the MSM.
