1. Only for the repubs

2. The problem with ending the filibuster is when we need it in the event we lose control.

Sure, right now it's easy to call for the filibuster to be ended. But your opinion will change when we are the ones who want to filibuster.

3. I don't support ending the fillibuster, but I do support making them stand and talk

If the point is to continue debate then for god sakes let's make them stand up there in front of the camera (Cspan) and show the world just what it is they stand for. And if they come up looking like obstructionist blathering idiots, well, then so be it.

5. Yep. I wholly support actual endurance-contest filibustering

If someone's willing to stay up for hours or days or whatnot to fight for their stance then I can respect that, whether it's debating or doing the read-the-phone-book schtick. The fictitious filibuster of the last several years where people don't have to do a thing? Hell with that.

4. I support ending the filibuster right now

And I support ending the filibuster when we no longer have a Senate majority

6. I support changing it to keep it from being abused like it is now.

the dems may need it some day.

My changes include:

:give each senator a limited amount of times they can use it (like say 5)

:secret no holds-period. And give those holds a time limit (like 48 hrs)

:all filibusters are public

:and of course everyone has to stand in the congress when using the filibuster

7. Your name public

And you have to physically filibuster on the floor of the senate
