Personally I say bring back the real filibuster. No more of this just refusing to vote on it thing, make them stand up and keep talking. Stop being scared the filibuster and push things through.

I know, it just needed to be said. The insane thoughts of the reactionary right that used to hide in the shadows feel awfully free to fly openly these days. "Lets get rid of Social Security; lets repeal the Civil Rights Amendment; lets give the corporations control of the entire country and make American citizens their slaves for $0.02 an hour." Great ideas, folks!
I agree about the filibuster. If they really want to do it, read the phone book out loud for ten hours straight. Make it painful.
