In the Senate, a filibuster can prevent a vote from taking place unless 60
senators agree. Some Democrats want to change the Senate rules so that a vote
must be held whenever a majority of senators agree. Do
you favor or oppose the plan to change the rules and eliminate the filibuster?

Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "The legislative filibuster... is
the most important distinction between the Senate and the House. Without the
60-vote threshold for legislation, the Senate becomes a majoritarian
institution like the House... no Senator would like to see that happen"?
