On May 15th, 2012, Common Cause took a page out of my book, Filibuster Solution, and filed a complaint against the Uniter States Senate in Federal Court to have it declared that the Filibuster rules are unconstitutional. http://www.commoncause.org/site/pp.asp?c=dkLNK1MQIwG&b=5958583 It was joined by several members of the House of Representatives. This is directly from my book published last fall, the Filibuster Solution, available at https://www.createspace.com/3586594 and http://www.amazon.com/Filibuster-Solution-theSenates-RulesorReturning-theStates/dp/098347950X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1337375895&sr=1-1 Common Causes's suit necessarily relies on the legal precedents and history that I described in my book. We must stop these unconstitutional holds on legislation, treaties and appointments to office if our government is to function properly and truly represent the States and the people of those states.
