You know why neither side is stupid enough to do that, right?
because if to get actually pass the agenda they run on, they can't threaten not to get it passed in the next election
what's stupid is allowing a 'fillibuster' to wreck legislation.
It's a parliamentary procedure, not even law. We can change it at ANY TIME with simple majority vote. It's a self-imposed rule, not in the constitution, not law.
They "stupidly" skip it all of the time with legislation they want to pass. They don't need a super majority for pay raises....
