Congressman Andy Biggs

Or else the Senate leadership on the Republican side, they actually capitulate to demands made by the minority because that's the way the cloture and the veto process works.

And

And Vince, that will not get the agenda through.

And if you can't get your agenda through, quite frankly, low propensity voters who don't pay much attention anyway, and even people who regularly get out there say, why should I vote for the majority, the Republicans again, when they can't get the job done?

And we can't get the job done because of arcane Byzantine, anachronistic...

Yeah, it really does.

And it actually, this is the problem with it too, Vince.

It gives the minority the power over the majority.

So our Constitution was designed for obviously a religious and moral people, but it's also designed for the majority to get its will.

And that's why voters just say, well, why bother?

Why bother?

And there's so much that's miss said about this stuff.

For instance, if you eliminate the cloture rule, which takes down to simple majority, shut down a filibuster.

What that does is everybody's you still keep the filibuster.

It's a speaking filibuster.

It's always been there.

But now they don't have to go speak.

They just have to say, well, we're not going to vote to to close up filibuster.

So they can stay in their office either with a blue slip or the cloture and kill it.

And if you get rid of it and get it down to 51 votes to close down the filibuster, then if you want to stop the majority's plan, you have to rise up off your behind, get out of your office and go down and speak on the floor and actually put some physical strength in there.
