Some choice quotes from the left on filibusters, back when it was Clinton's agenda that was being stymied:
One unpleasant and unforeseen consequence has been to make the filibuster easy to invoke and painless to pursue. Once a rarely used tactic reserved for issues on which senators held passionate convictions, the filibuster has become the tool of the sore loser, dooming any measure that cannot command the 60 required votes.....an archaic rule that frustrates democracy and serves no useful purpose(quotes via Powerline)
--NY Times editorial 1/1/95
I respectfully suggest that everyone who is nominated is entitled to have a shot, to have a hearing and to have a shot to be heard on the floor and have a vote on the floor. . . .It is not appropriate not to have hearings on them, not bring them to the floor and not to allow a vote.
--Senator Joseph Biden 3/19/97
Down the drain goes President Clinton's economic stimulus package, washed away in the putrid flood of verbiage known as a filibuster....Call it a power game. Call it politics as usual. Call it reprehensible.
