Point taken. Filibusters are definition a tactic of the Senate minority, of course. And yes, both parties have turned to filibuster as minority in the Senate. I question redefining obstruction as Filibuster only; I think of obstruction as the daily fare of congress during the entire administration of President Obama. What I'd really like to see, instead of you and me arguing about which party is guilty of it, is all of us demanding that the party politicians on both sides start showing us that they care a whole lot more about the good of the country than they do about the good of the party. Let's all oppose politicians of either side who make party politics their priority. On that, I hope, we can agree.
