Will the Democrats agree to change the rules so they'd have to sleep on cots when the next Republican President comes along and they want to filibuster?John Salmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09267280368859553938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312946.post-31762609694911400312010-01-19T14:59:08.862-06:002010-01-19T14:59:08.862-06:00Cladari,

The point of this article is that rule 22 works only so long as both sides agree that they do not want to go through the trouble of busting out said cots. Democrats could force republicans to do some actual talking.<br /><br />Both rule 22 and the classical filibuster move are admittedly unconstitutional. See "The Nuclear Option" for further details.<br /><br />You are welcomeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312946.post-56209201231212360372010-01-19T13:29:51.991-06:002010-01-19T13:29:51.991-06:00fyi both sides use this tacticfyi both sides use this tacticAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312946.post-51071408744554291862010-01-19T13:16:46.743-06:002010-01-19T13:16:46.743-06:00I don't think filibuster means what you think ...I don't think filibuster means what you think it means.
