You might want to turn on C-SPAN 2, where Sen. Bernie Sanders, Socialist of Vermont, is holding the floor with a good old-fashioned filibuster on the tax bill.

Regardless of the merits of Mr. Sanders’ position on the bill, this is my favored brand of filibuster-reform: make Senators actually do it. You’d retain the Senate’s best counter-majoritarian feature but see it reserved only for the most important measures.
