The notion of filibuster was simple.The Senate is currently is planning to modify the filibuster process. The filibuster is not the best feature. Following is the reasons
: 1. unconstitutional:
The filibuster seems unconstitutional because it is not mentioned in the original constitution written by Alexander Hamilton. The Senate was didn’t recognize the filibuster which created a gap and the senator tried to abolish the filibuster since 1841.
- undemocratic:The Senate is inherently and hopelessly undemocratic and filibuster is democratically imbalanced.
- Collape the Senate:Filibuster is well documented and universally understood but it breakdown the senate .
- And it will bring down the other two branches along with it:Senior judicial and executive branch nominations must be permitted by the Senate and are subject to the filibuster. Senators have chance to play political games with the high qualified candidates. Furthermore low-profile bills, it’s often not sufficient to raise cloture on district court judges or obscure administration positions. Instant agreement eliminated from the judicial logjam at times. There is an alert on crisis in the federal court when the judge retire the without replacing the post so they are thankful to filibuster in the senate.
- Checks and balances are not necessary : Checks and balances with two houses in the legislature, the committee process, presidential vetoes and judicial review without a supermajority requirement in one of the chambers. As noted earlier, the founders didn’t intend for it to be this way.
Filibuster will be a great idea. If the democracies would follow and set their but which is unusual. Therefore, I believe that filibuster is unrealistic and not fruitful.
