polifrog
The filibuster was intended to reduce partisanship in the senate and force deliberation upon those in power; the phrase"the greatest deliberative body" did not spring from the ether.
The reality is that the filibuster forces the party in power to not only check their extremism, but to consult the opposing party during the legislative process.
As to the particular changes made yesterday I lament the politicized courts that are sure to follow and also the reduced standing the decisions of these more politicized courts will have in minds of the public.
But are we to expect any different from unAmerican Democrats?
