Just how many good bills and appointees would have already been passed and into law if not for this senate filibuster being used as a weapon to kill the functioning of government.

When it has been abused this much it no longer serves any functioning good. Get rid of this unconstitutional senate rule blocking our democratic process now. Stop letting 40 senators destroy our democracy.
