The Truth about the Filibuster

PoliBlogger is a Political Science professor that goes through each of the objections of getting rid of the filibuster and eviscerates them. Checks and balances means between the branches, not within them. The filibuster appears to have come in 1806, not at the founding, and the Democrats are impeding debate, not encouraging it by refusing to actually let the votes get on the calendar, not filibustering the actual floor vote.

I still think the GOP should make them actually do a filibuster, but this information helps get to the truth of so much garbage being spewed by the left on this issue.
