Why Can't the Democrats use a filibuster to stop the vote on the use of a filibuster? Wouldn't it work? I don't see anything that is preventing that, but yet I don't see any Democrat even threatening it.
There are like no downsides to using a filibuster, except for the short lived calls that Democrats are "obstructionists" and "put it to a vote"! But so what? To save a democracy, It is worth it.
What is wrong with this idea? Why hasn't it been discussed on the blogosphere', the Democratic caucus, Harry Reid, DFA, or anything?
