Schumer to @jaketapper (https://twitter.com/jaketapper) in 2013: "I believe in immigration reform. What if I persuaded my caucus to say, 'I'm going to shut the government down, I am going to not pay our bills unless I get my way?' It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis."

I was asking myself the same question. Is there a limit to how many times you can invoke it, like NFL challenges?

The filibuster was put in place in the 70s, right about the time everything started going to shit.

It should be gotten rid of. There is no way the democrats wouldn't get rid of it in a second if it served their purposes.
