Should Senators who want to filibuster have to actually get up and speak to delay a vote?

I was appalled when that rule was altered. I believe the filibuster most assuredly has a legitimate role to play as part of the rights of the minority, but I also feel it should cost more than a simple, "Uh, no". Make 'em read from the phone book like they used to.

Indeed each US Senator who elects to filibuster; should actually stand up and provide evidential inquiry of their request. Perhaps its legitimate; or perhaps they are grandstanding. In any account; its the people's business that they tend, and its the people who should have open transparency.

Yes,

The G0P days of a silent filibuster are over.

Absolutely.

Anyone who even threatens a filibuster should be immediately expelled from Congress, and should be summarily flogged on national television.

The current system is creating nothing but deadlock. It needs to be changed to how it was in the past.

yes

Of course they should, the lazy mutants.

YES.
