I am happy to see the talking filibuster being used. Not that I like the jackass, but I'm with him on this one issue.

I heard he got some help from other Republicans, and from some Democrats, too.

This filibuster thing is fucking childish. It needs some more rules to keep it in check.

I agree. "Bad" legislation should be voted down because it's bad, not blocked by this sort of thing, which could just as easily block good legislation.rEvolutionist wrote:This filibuster thing is fucking childish. It needs some more rules to keep it in check.
Of course, good legislation can get voted down as well, but there are a lot more people accountable when that happens.

No joke. It's archaic, obsolete and an embarrassment every time it happens. I wonder if any such thing exists in any other government or if everyone else's gummit has more common fucking sense and maturity?rEvolutionist wrote:This filibuster thing is fucking childish.

Re: Rand Paul keeps talking
There are time limits imposed on parliamentary debates in most other countries. Some politicians - especially those in opposition to the government - will sometimes grumble of course. But the time limits are there for a good reason.FBM wrote:No joke. It's archaic, obsolete and an embarrassment every time it happens.

Anyway, if politicians spent more of their debating time actually arguing the issues, as opposed to engaging in political posturing and points-scoring, then most debates would have more than enough time to play out properly.

It's not about the issue for me, it's about the principle of having an effective working democracy.
