13. And how is it any different when neither the D's or the R's aren't helping the middle/lower class?
and the RICH has already emphasized that they DO NOT WANT any more tax cuts. They want to pay their fair share. But there's always greedy assholes who wants more - and for what?
14. To abolish the filibuster, there are two options
One is to establish the new rules before the next Congressional session as you mentioned.
However, in a dire emergency where filibusters has done nothing but obstruct necessary laws or nominations, then the filibuster rule can be removed by the nuclear option.
12. The only potential process is the "Nuclear Option"...
...proposed by the Republicans back in 2005. It requires the acquiescence of the Senate Parliamentarian and the Vice President on a point of order about changing Senate Rules, and requires a Majority of Democrats to give up the Filibuster pretty much forever (including the inevitable future when the Republicans are in charge.
16. The best way to use the filibuster is force them to USE it
Jeff Merkey has the right idea. Just the mention of "filibuster" is not enough - they have to do the actual filibuster until they give up (and hopefully die of heart attacks doing so)
