From there, @SenatorDurbin mentions the DREAM Act, which was filibustered to death in 2010. A new version of that bill is up for a vote this week in the House, where it's expected to pass. But it faces long odds again in the Senate under the 60-vote rule. — PolitiTweet.org

Dick Durbin is on the floor torching the modern filibuster, saying it has "become the death grip of democracy." "Senators can literally phone in a filibuster... Today's filibuster has turned the world's greatest deliberative body into one of the world's most ineffectual bodies." — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin says the filibuster has to go. He says there should at least be a "standing filibuster" that requires senators to talk in order to hold up a bill. "It's time to change the Senate rules," he says. "Stop holding the Senate hostage." — PolitiTweet.org
