I appreciate you explaining that to me. But I don't understand the point of protecting the minority. Doesn't that equate to the opposite of democracy? MM> it should be 60 votes to pass instantly. Aren't we stuck with everything the way it is though? We'd need a huge majority to get rid of or to modify the filibuster. MM> Filibuster should be a temporary delay. That sounds perfect.
