i'd also like to point out that according to a study by ucla professor barbara sinclaire, in the the 1960's just 8% of bills were subject to a filibuster in the 1960's. in the last congress, 70% of bills were subject to a filibuster. it's gotten out of hand. the simple fact is that today rather than an unusual event, the filibuster or threat of a filibuster has become a routine occurrence. let me repeat these figures. in the 1950's, an average of one filibuster per congress. in the 104th congress when democrats were in the minority, there were 82 filibusters. in the last congress, 139 bills were filibustered. in the current, halfway through, 74. so we're on schedule to even break the 110th congress. as i pointed out, the 104th was when democrats were in the minority, and they did 82 filibusters. so what was once a procedure used very rarely judicially has become almost a daily procedure used routinely and often recklessly. a quarter century ago faced with 40 filibusters in the face of one congress, senator eagleton said the senate was in a situation of -- quote -- "unbridled chaos."
