In-depth historical analysis of the impact of the filibuster

I've never read any news involving the filibuster that weren't goddamn stupid. And the current incarnation, where the person employing it doesn't even have to make a fool of himself reading a children's book is the worst of all.

It just fosters dysfunction, and leads to cynicism, because people can see the government being ineffective.

Either get rid of it, or get ready for a US partition by the hostile empires of Mexico, Canada , and Cuba.
