Re: 'The filibuster is a mid 20th Century invention. The Senate is about majority rule. The Senate existed without it until it was “invented.”'

You're wrong AGAIN. 1837 is not "mid 20th Century." That's when the first successful filibuster occurred. Filibusters were occurring even earlier. In fact, Aaron Burr eliminated a mechanism in the Senate to end debate on a topic. That was in 1806.

No need to thank me for the history lesson. I'm always happy to enlighten the uneducated and mentally challenged.
