Is that what he was actually suggesting on The Daily Show when Jon Stewart was interviewing him?

As a lover of the Constitution, I would love to see where it specifies a fillibuster
I don't think we should allow practices that aren't mandated in the Constitution

It is mandated, sort of. The doc spells out that the house and senate must draft their own rules.
That aside the fillibuster is stupid. It should be banned by whatever means possible.
On the other hand I have become so politically cynical that I would approve of replacing the senate with a roulette wheel.
If they don't do away with it, at least make 'em freaking DO IT. Make them stand up there, night and day, and read from the damn dictionary or something. The way it is now, they can say "I filibuster" and then go down to Barfy's Bar and Grill to smoke cigarettes and drink Rob Roy's. (simplified version)

I agree. I have no problem with them maintaining the filibuster, but it should be a real filibuster, like back in the "good ole days" when guys like Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd read out of a dictionary for 24 hours straight and pissed into a bucket next to the podium when they had to relieve themselves.

I'm glad all you Hopey Changeys feel this way. Maybe this will happen when a Republican retakes the White House and the Republicans control Congress. We have you on record for supporting ending the Filibuster. We'll see if you still feel that way in the future. Somehow i doubt it though.
