senator byrd, "that's why we have a filibuster to debate freely." i can understand why we change the rules that make it unique and frustrating but it is tempted to speed up the process or clear expediency, i believe such changes would be unwise. senator dodd, "therefore my fellow senators who never served a day in the minority, pause in your enthusiasm to change rules." senator reed, then the democratic leader, but the minority leader, he said in 2005, "it's far from a procedural giving. it's part of the fabric of this institution that we call the senate. for 200 years we had the right to extend the debate. it's not a gimmick. some want to throw out 214 years of history in the quest for absolute power. they want to do away with mr. smith as depicted in that movie coming to washington. they want to do away with the filibuster. senator reed says "they are wiser than our founding fathers? i doubt that's true. there's one other senator who spoke and said this, the senator from illinois, senator obama, "if the majority chooses to end the filibusters, spe

senator byrd -- isn't it true that senator byrd says forceful confrontation to the threat of a filibuster is undoubtedly the antidote to the malady, and senator byrd did not want us tampering with this 60-vote procedure that we have here that forces consensus. so my question to the minority leader is why did you go out to dinner so often, through the chair to all senators, when instead you could have been here dealing under the rules as senator byrd suggested with abuses to the filibuster or what you considered they were? mr. durbin: the senator misspoke and called me the minority leader. in defense of his relationship with senator mcconnell -- mr. alexander: i ask the record be corrected. mr. durbin: let me just say quickly, the obvious question is what do we accomplish by staying here all night? every 15 minutes, every hour, the majority leader could ask for a live quorum and members could be asked to come vote, and if they don't, their voting record would reflect it. so the body would pay the price of putting the pressure, the confrontation that senator byrd speaks of. what the senator

byrd's "the senate: 1789 to 1999," that's a great boofpblg me wrote, henry clay in 1841 proposed the introduction of the previous question but abandoned the idea in the face of opposition. so at that time, the senate rejected the idea of having a mechanism to shut down debate. byrd wrote also that when senator douglas proposed permits the the use of the previous question in 1850, the idea encountered substantial opposition and was dropped. they said it failed on a vote of 25-30 and byrd also cited other instances where the senate specifically rejected the idea of having the move the previous question to shut down debate. the cloture rule obviously came to be in the senate rules in 1917. there's a long history where the filibuster developed and so stay it was an accident is a myth. another myth is that the senate is not a continuing body. you'll hear that over and over again. you hear already the argument that the left is making now, somehow the senate's rules operate through the whole two years and then the senate ends the year and in those moments before the senate starts out in the
