[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 4827291, member: 22662"] It’s what I’ve said before. Senators agreeing on what they find acceptable. The actual filibuster remains at 60 vote cloture down from 67. That’s it. That’s the entire thing. The only reason the filibuster is as effective at blocking legislation today is because nobody forces the actual debate. The filibuster isn’t “used”. It’s “invoked”. Like a magical incantation. How is going back to actually debating on the floor weakening anything? Does it remove a magic that doesn’t exist? [/QUOTE]
