    Abolishing the filibuster would create a situation where there would be no point in even having an minority party.

    In a senate with a significant majority the filibuster allows the minority to be heard and on rare occasions force the majority into compromise.


    This is simply a power play. They want to remove the filibuster in order to remove the extra steps to making laws. They're using "muh racism" as a cover for it to make it harder to argue against. Not surprised. Obama probably still thinks he's president.

    End the filibuster.

    Not only will laws be able to be passed easier, they will be able to be updated and repealed easier.

    No. We already have Mob Rule in the house of reps.

    Don't need Mob Rule in the senate as well.

    Likely a better option to just get rid of the house entirely and give each state another senator.
     
  4. Sounds like a good idea you have there.
