I like the other proposal which is to change the filibuster needing 60 votes to stop the debate to the filibuster needing 40 (actually Norm Orenstein thinks the ideal is 41) to keep the debate going. That means the minority has to work at it but one still has the filibuster available at the times it is needed. But it gets rid of the easy obstruction it now represents.

The thing I do like is that the minority (Repub) has to actually work!
And show up! Too many of the senators are lacking the will to work or show up for the hard stuff.
Confiscate their phones at the door, like the juveniles they are.
