and by the way robert byrd did believe in the type of no effort filibuster we have now i mean this is not people having to work hard to block something at great effort it is not public accountability you're in front of the public and they can weigh in on whether you're heroes or bums. since 1975, reform that backfired. it takes no effort to block legislation and there's no public accountable. so using the robert template was the goal and had we had 50 votes to adopt that template, then we would have had a a debate focused solely on final passage of the bill and it would have been on interrupted by quorum calls uninterrupted by motions, and it would continued night and day until either there was a break in debate in which point the chair could call the question, and that goes as a pillar goes back to the very founding of this of, the senate or until everyone exhausted their ability to speak twice to the issue for as long as they wanted and the issue to speak twice to an issue goes back to the original rules of. the senate and it's in the senate rules today. so we were founding this kin
