I guess you are right, but isn't that the same deal with the filibuster? Anvf that hasn't stopped people from talking about it.
- xmodem 5y agoTHe filibuster in the senate can be changed or removed with a simple majority, i.e. 9 less than the number of votes needed to break a filibuster.
- etrevino 5y agoThe filibuster isn't written into the Constitution: it's actually just Congress setting its rules of order. Changing the Constitution is a big and difficult process.
