re: #132 Dangerman

on Manchin and the filibuster (electoral-vote.com)

this part i really like

as with many other proposals floating around
it limits what a single senator could do
and forces the team to have, and show, the courage of their convictions

personally, i think filibuster debate should have to be on topic.
even somewhat on topic.

if you start reading a novel, a phonebook, a cookbook, whatever, then automatic cloture

Theoretically a nice idea, but imagine the debates about what is, or is not, relevant. It would give the filibusterers something to argue about.
