We also have a process in place to change the       Constitution - but it requires a super-duper-majority and time, by design.               AT> The minority is still being controlled by        AT> the majority (mission failed) and the filibuister is probably the real        AT> reason why congress never does anything useful.              I can think of thousands of other reasons why congress never does anything       useful. The filibuster is simply something that stands out.              And it's part of the process to prevent the tyranny of the majority.                     ...
