CJ all that says is you need 60 to cloture a filibuster. You don't understand that there are senators like Lieberman who are effectively republican on most issues. A single person party can make a filibuster so long as there aren`t 60 people to call for cloture.
Is this why you kept bringing up that republicans didn`t have enough to filibuster a bill in the senate? Because that`s really un-informed of you. They did.

I'm not trying to shame you CJ. Good for you. You learned something and you can thank me for forcing you to look it up. You`re welcome.

madest: Wiki - In the United States Senate, rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless "three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn" (usually 60 out of 100 senators) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture under Senate Rule XXII. This means that as few as 41 senators, which could represent as little as 12.3% of the U.S. population, can make a filibuster happen.
Care to debate that FACT further ? I didn't think so. It`s apparent you don`t know jack about senate process and the cloture rules.
