Request Senate return to “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” style Filibuster.

Request Senate return to “Mr. Smith Goes To Washington” style Filibuster. Allow the “41%” rule to continue, but require Senators to stand and talk for the duration of the filibuster. To oppose legislation, one must openly vote against it. The 2/3’s of voting senators will stand but there can be no secret votes, one must own their vote. This will allow the ability of a minority group to oppose oppressive legislation to continue, but will restrict the “tyranny of a minority.” For further reading about the issue of the “invisible filibuster” visit http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jan/02/opinion/la-oe-appleby-filibuster....
