[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [b]But it doesn't dispute anything I wrote.[/b] au contraire. the House allowed unlimited debate until just before the civil war... filibustering has nothing to do with the Republican form of Govt.... mob rule was a concern but you have to remember these were very wealthy men who watched Britain abolish slavery in 1772, long before the Constitution was finalised.... if they had wanted rule 22 or the even more lax rule we have now? they would have written a 2/3 rule in the Constitution... it's that simple, instead they originally worte [i]The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State,chosen by the Legislature thereof,for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote. The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.[/i] tie votes... nothing about 2/3s that came much later... the 17th ammendment (right before prohibition again ;) ) cahnged the "appointment" rules to general elctions.. that was the Republican form they envisioned... the article as written was correct, the Senate has much more power today than it did then...
