I’m in favor of the filibuster, but the original version. You want to delay legislation? Fine, stand your happy ass up and start talking for hours without stopping. The old fucks wouldn’t be able to do it, and those that can would have to spend days doing nothing else, and getting no other work done. After hour 4 or 5, a senator bought by corporate interests is going to be exhausted and start wondering if what they’re being paid is worth the personal effort. By 24 hours, only those who feel true, personal conviction about their beliefs could continue.

Bernie pulled off an 8.5 hour filibuster when he was 69

I’d settle for that, but I’m going to continue to push for the complete and permanent eradication of the filibuster. I see no reason to pre-negotiate.
