First in Filibusters

As Unstable Isotope mentioned yesterday, the Senate Democrats are looking to re-work the Senate rules of filibusters. It turns out that facts show us that Republicans in the 111th Congress broke the filibuster record by a large, large freaking margin.

It’s looking like that number of votes won’t change to overturn a filibuster, but what might change is what a Senator can filibuster on and how they can do it. Yeah, I know this is another video from The Last Word, but it does give a good overview of what may happen in January.
