Changing Filibuster Rules

An angry Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV), demanded changes to the Senate’s filibuster rules, siding with junior Democrats who have sought to weaken the powerful delaying tactic.

Currently, a lone senator can stop action on a bill by continuing to debate it. This tactic prevents the legislation from being taken to the floor for a vote.

Should the Senate weaken the filibuster rules?
  Yes
  No
  Undecided
