      It’s an effective tool, I think they need to dispense with the written filibuster and return to oral. If you are passionate enough that you want to stop a bill on your own, be prepared to blather

        Agreed, I think this is the way. It’s also somewhat self-limiting of senile geriatrics, incapable of standing for sustained lengths of time.

        The lazy filibuster must go.

        And that may be in reach, given we’re past tie-breaking defecting traitors like Sinema.
