the filibuster is used because the majority is not interested in the minority point. Thats THE problem. When the majority overrides the minority simply because it has at least one more vote than the minority is when the peoples government is no more, a failure, and should be thrown out and started over.Gem said:So the minority party uses the filibuster to make sure that their point is heard? How is reading the phone book, talking about recipes, etc. furthering the democratic process?
Why not just say, every single person in the Congress has 30 minutes before any vote to make their point heard....their statement must relate to why we should or should not vote a certain way?
ok, maybe thats going too far, but because one side is so focused on forcing their particular ideals and 'vision' on the whole of america (lets not forget that over 40% DID vote democrat) we don't have a representative government, we have a tyranny.
