Let the filibuster be no more. Let the people decide.
In the executive branch, winning by a whisker is as good as winning in a landslide, but not so in the Senate.
When you get too big a majority, you're immediately in trouble.'
No one ever built the filibuster rule. It just kind of was created.
Filibusters should require 35 senators to... make a commitment to continually debate an issue in reality, not just in theory. The number of votes needed to overcome a filibuster should be reduced to 55 from 60.
A lot of people think I'm crazy, you know, leaving a Democratic supermajority state to go to the superminority in Congress.
In the Senate, where 60 votes are required to do anything important, you have to work with your colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
The minority in the Senate has the power to prevent the majority from acting.
You have a hundred senators, but for anything to happen you need 60, which makes it really hard for anything to happen.
