   They have made changes to this over time.   
      
   Recall back in the early 60s when they were trying to pass Civil Rights Acts   
   and they were Filibustered by the Democrats??  Robert Byrd led the way!!!   
      
   Well... The Republicans found the votes thus ending the Filibuster and   
   ushering in the Civil Rights Act.   
      
   LBG said, and it came from this moment... He said that he'll have the N-Word   
   People voting Democrat for the next 250 years.   
      
   OK, enough of the background...    
      
   In 1975 they went with a "Silent Filibuster" ... this made it so you didn't   
   have to speak to debate the bill.  If you didn't have 60 votes you didn't take   
   the bill for debate to the floor.   
      
   What they want to do now is to go back to the old way of a Talking Filibuster   
   like we use to.   
      
   We'll get to hear the Democrats go on about Jim Crow 2.0 and all that stuff.   
      
   Lets do it!!!
