Funny thing is of course that there wasn't a single filibuster this last year, yet the whining by the dems now that it is impossible to govern with it.  :lol:
Classic lie by half truth.  There are no real filibusters these days, nobody gets that far.  Once it's clear that there aren't 60 votes for the cloture, the filibuster is implied, and people just move on.
And how many cloture votes failed in the last year?  What bills didn't pass due to a failure of a cloture vote?  Please, can you name some?
