Mcconnell had a good idea. Return the Senate to the earlier tactic to where Senators had to hold the floor to prevent business from moving forward.
While its an unbelieveably bad idea to have such a thing, make the Senators physically hold the floor. The practice has been out of favor recently. Id like to see McCain speak for 55 hours just to prevent Rice's nomination coming to a vote. It also would be a civics lesson on obstructionism.
If Reid wants to defeat filibusters, McConnell suggested, he should use the fatigue factor to grind down opposition by forcing senators who were filibustering motions or bills to stay on the Senate floor and keep speaking.
