The fact that talking incessantly is a valid tactic for defeating a bill tells you everything you need to know about our system of government.

Support this sentiment entirely.
If you are going to filibuster, then by god occupy the floor and speak.
I would definitely like to get rid of the faux-filibuster. That is certainly not within the way the filibuster was supposed to work. That does just institute a 60 vote rule.
The only way I actually support the filibuster is to physically get your arse up there and occupy the floor. If you don't have enough support to continue that occupancy, then you are too fringe to get in the way of stopping things for more than a day or so.
