  - I also like the idea of actually making senators have to speak in filibuster again. - musubi Jan 19, 15:59

    - Separate this from the health care issue. Imagine there isn't even a health care billup for debate. It's not about that. - Reagen Jan 19, 16:00 4

        I don't think he's saying the Filibuster itself has made the Senate dysfuction. Rather that it's a tool being used by the dysfuction. - musubi Jan 19, 16:06 1
        
        An awesome typo and yes, more or less. - Reagen Jan 19, 16:07
- Reagen, it's like our constitutional amendment process. Sure one exists, but there's less than zero chance Canada will formerly amend it anytime soon - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 15:51 3

    - Yes. It's a Senate rule, not a Constitutional issue. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 15:58 1
