The Filibuster

I have a very different view of what the filibuster is used for. It's evolved when I first got to the Senate, I was elected in 06 and took office January 3rd. The filibuster was used much less than it is today. A filibuster is one senator, one senator standing up and saying they object. Nothing happened to do with talking. If Rand Paul is in a bad mood, he objects. Where I would agree with Bob is that on many routine occasions, especially senators who have accommodated voting on amendments, taking bills up, and then having a final vote at the 1960s.
