But I don't understand the point of       protecting the minority. Doesn't that equate to the opposite of democracy?               MM> it should be 60 votes to pass instantly.              Aren't we stuck with everything the way it is though? We'd need a huge       majority to get rid of or to modify the filibuster.               MM> Filibuster should be a temporary delay.              That sounds perfect. That way the minority can have a little heads-up, but       then they'd ultimately have to face the music. (That way they can sell their       stocks first.)              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64)        * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/201)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 206 317 426 428 470 700 705 266/512 291/111       SEEN-BY: 292/854 320/219 322/757 342/200 201 396/45 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 342/201 200 229/426           |
