Dick Morris thinks the GOP is taking the wrong approach on filibusters:

Frist just needs to end the "virtual" filibuster and make the Democrats stage a real one, replete with quorum calls, 24/7 sessions and truly endless debate covered word for word by C-SPAN for all the nation to see - and ridicule.

Now where have I heard that before?

I still insist, and will continue to insist that making Democrats hold an actual filibuster is the answer. A filibuster used to mean that the filibustering party needed to hold the Senate floor. They would stand up there and talk and talk and talk, refusing to yield the floor to anyone else. All Senate business stopped until the filibuster was resolved or broken.

If the Dems want to filibuster judicial nominees, that's fine. But the GOP should make them put their money where their mouth is. If they're going to be obstructionists, let them stand up there and show America what's really going on. -- Ravenwood, December 21, 2004.

They. . .should go back to the old rules of filibustering. A filibuster is supposed to be maintained by the filibustering party. The Dems should be required to take the floor and hold it until the filibuster is over. They should also not proceed with any other Senate business until the filibusters are resolved. Perhaps then the American people get the full picture of just how much the Democrats are obstructing. -- Ravenwood, May 6, 2003.

Dick Morris has a much louder voice. Hopefully the GOP will take heed.
