[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [b]The Senate was created that way ON PURPOSE. To prevent the mob rule that a Legislative Branch based on House of Reps concept. The smaller states wouldn't have accepted anything that didn't give them equal voting rights. That's why the dual system was created. Idiot.... [/b] actually? the Senate was appointed by the state legislatures when our system was created furthermore? the filibuster rule was not in the Constitution, it is a rules system implemented and designed by the Senate itslef... there was no cloture rule at all.. the Supreme court flatly stated that the Senate only needs a 50/50 vote on anything, BUT! the Senate created a 2/3 rule to end cloture (debate) on a bill. Originally the rule only said 2/3 of those present, so a Senator had to actually hold the floor by being there... that was rule 22 that rule was changed again to make the 60 vote rule cuz these effers are lazy... they didn't actually want to have to work (hold the floor) to maintain debate... "cloture rule 22" was invoked in 1917 and the 60 vote rule only came into being in 1975... that allowed the effers to actaully have filibuster without doing the hard lifting (lazy effers!) tell me again about mob rule? idiot? hmmmm... yep we live in a Republic but the founders had NOTHING whatsoever to do with filibuisters and cloture and 3/5ths or 2/3 majrotites to END debate... they prolly would think it's idiotic like i do..... the votes were originally ot be 50/50 by appointees of the state and not to be voted in general elections the same people that created the 18th ammendment (prohibition) are the ones that created rule 22... and it's bullcrap.
