   That's a good point, and I understand that the filibuster served a good   
   purpose at that time, but I still think that the majority should rule.   
      
   The majority rules in elections, and that works out pretty good.   
      
   Worst case scenario for if there were no filibuster in 1964: The Civil Rights   
   Act would have had to wait another year or 2.
