Filibusters
The idea of a filibuster sort of confuses me. I guess to an extent it is effective but it also causes to me to question whether what our members of Congress are doing is worthwhile or not. When i learned that in the history of our Congress one of the members filibustered for 15 hours by reading off recipes and other sorts or pointless material, I began to wonder if there is a "better" way to accomplish the same task. This method of extensive and chaotic distracting for as long as one can handle seems like a waste of time to me. I think our members of Congress should be able to discover a new method of "talking a bill to death," possibly without the talking aspect. Our country certainly has a lot of problems right about now and wasting time away on filibustering certain unpopular bills is not helping our country at all.

I think that it is a waste of time and that the content that is spoken during a fillibuster should be about the bill and not about random things such as recipes.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! It makes me question our Congress and loose hope that what they are doing is the most effective way of helping our country.
