In response to:
and yes, the filibustering bonanza by the usual rightwing obstructors IS unconstitutional and goes well beyond the INTENT of the filibuster.
Another reason why the GOP is dying a slow, nasty death by their own hand. Don't believe me? Check out their favorables - both via Faux Nooz's ratings tank and GOP popularity.
