"These filibusters turn the world’s most deliberative body into one of the world’s most ineffectual bodies," Durbin said speaking from the Senate floor last week. "It’s time to change the Senate rules," Durbin went on to say as he criticized the filibuster. "Prove to me that under the current rules with the filibuster requiring 60 votes that we can actually produce something." "To do it we need a bipartisan majority, 60 senators under the current rules," he continued. On Tuesday, Durbin tweeted, "Republicans have beaten the old filibuster to the point where it is hardly recognizable."
