35. he does, and you should support the cloture as is
i do get tired sometimes explaining to morons like you simple constructs such as democracy, simple majority, super-majority and so forth. Ill waste little energy on the education you should have already received, but i will simply point out that a democracy does not equate to a simple majority.

Yes, many people feel that perhaps the administrative filibuster is over reaching and i would agree. But the fact remains that we used the filibuster threat hundreds of times against Bush very effectively.

Its been around for some time and removing it would be very bad.
