Just wanted to float an idea for a halfway measure for filibuster reform that might be workable. Senators could invoke a filibuster pretty much as they can currently but the Senator in question would move to a status functionally equivalent to holding the floor and talking on the specific issue. If the Senate moved on to other business (immediately, or after some grace period, e.g., 3, 5, 7 , or 14 days), the Senator in question could be counted as present/nonvoting for rollcall votes but otherwise treated as if they were committed to physically holding the floor in another location. Except for the specific action they were filibustering, they would be ineligible to vote, speak on the floor, participate in committee meetings, or even be recognized on the floor (except for motions on the item they were filibustering). The reform could be further augmented by allowing cloture to be invoked by any vote that satisfied the two conditions: (1) pro-cloture votes gained a plurality AND (2) the votes to SUSTAIN the filibuster failed to gain 40. Obviously, one party would have to target their filibuster invocations very carefully because their voting ranks to sustain multiple filibusters, and for any other business, could be depleted very quickly.
