- That's not what a filibuster is. The majority doesn't make the minority actually filibuster. - spamlet May 15, 09:42 1
  - I see what you're saying. I guess your problem is with how the linked article deals with the definition of a filibuster, then? -- nm - con_carne May 15, 10:00
- Those are lame. I want a Strom Thurmand "read the phone book" old-style filibuster. -- nm - Strongbad May 15, 09:41
