@billscher They’re talking about the previous question rule change in 1800s, which unintentionally required consent to proceed. “Cloture” was a way around that. The 1800s rule is the root of it — PolitiTweet.org

@billscher @Blahbla08277980 I get your pt but by this definition the House also has a filibuster. I think the conv is about what’s unique to senate — PolitiTweet.org

@billscher @Blahbla08277980 If you define “filibuster” as any attempt at dilatory tactics, sure, it’s as old as legislatures. But that’s not the point here. Current senate rule/process doesn’t date back 232 yrs — PolitiTweet.org
