Is the concept of the filibuster really in the Constitution? [View all]

[RicROC]

yes, rules of proceedings but what about the concept of 'one man, one vote'? Not 60 votes vs. 40 votes.

Could a class action lawsuit to SCOTUS challenge the concept of the 60 vote filibuster?

What if the filibuster was 85 votes? is that less or equal in concept to the 60 vote filibuster?
I would think a challenge to anything other than simple majority would apply to the basic tenant of democracy.

Let's face it, the US Senate is not remotely democratic so a filibuster skews the voting even more toward unbalanced representation.



...and don't get me started about US Senate votes should be weighted compared to the population of each state.
Oh, the sheer thought of representing people on a more equal basis!
