My favorite filibuster fact: It's because of Aaron Burr. After killing Alexander Hamilton he convinced the Senate to adopt rule changes in early 1800s that killed the "previous question" motion to end debate. No historical record of intent for a higher threshold; it was a fluke. — PolitiTweet.org

@jamesacoxiii @fleetadmiralj @nbrink77 @SenSchumer @LeaderMcConnell both likely true: McConnell would’ve done it anyway after the ‘17 Gorsuch filibuster but the Reid precedent made it easier to corral his caucus — PolitiTweet.org
