Ok so I read the article, and I do not understand a thing of whats going on. I dont know what filibuster is, nor did I catch what it was when I was reading. From what I am reading it's just the two parties nick picking each other like always, since this country can't run on a single stand point why not just let two, maybe there will be a third later to mess it up even more?  I don't doubt it since this country is probley never getting out of the hole is got buried in.
