Put me in the “This is why we can’t have nice things” camp.
The filibuster was fine as a rarely-used symbolic gesture. But now it has become a regularly-used means of obstructionism.
Republicans don’t fight fair, and I would bet dollars to donuts that, having turned the filibuster into a standard weapon, the first time they gain control of the Senate they will change the rules to prevent the Democrats from doing the same. Why not beat them to the punch for once?
