Ending the Senatorial Hold Privilege
Of all forms of filibuster, the one that seems most unjustifiable to me - and also by the way most injurious to Republicans - is the practice of the senatorial "hold" on presidential appointees.

The March for Life has been going on for nearly forty years. Is the pro-life movement actually making progress? “No exceptions. No compromise.” So blared from the lips of Nellie Gray, the founder of the annual March for Life event, which brings hundreds of thousands of pro-life advocates to …What I Saw at the March for Life

Another caution to keep in mind about the filibuster: as with campaign finance reform, past attempts to reform it have instead aggravated the very conditions that reformers most deplore.

President Chavez's Bolivarian "missiones" are a highly personalized form of presidential largesse financed by the secret unaudited accounts of Venezuela's oil revenues.
