3. Rules work until the conduct is not controlled

I don’t think historically the filibuster was used for most legislation. At least by Obama that changed and everything of substance is blocked.

I believe part is because what they are blocking is supported by most Americans and they don’t want the floor vote showing they are against it.

Rules don’t exist in a vacuum outside of what they control. If that object becomes uncontrollable you have to change the rule.
