I am with slandsma on page 2... It is time to end the "gentleman's agreement" to avoid the actual filibuster process. I'd like to see MacConnell try to reign in the loyalties of his senators if they know that they'll appear on national TV lecturing and dilly-dallying as American industry continues to sink further into the toilet on a daily basis. I have a hard time believing he can pull in 40 others to stand up and put their seats on the line over a move clearly designed to break the back of the last real bastion of American organized labor. It's time to end the super-majority standard for bringing bills to the floor and make these obstructionists put up or shut up in the public eye.
