I think the idea of a Filibuster is fine, I completely disagree with the current way in which they are using it.

If one party says they want to vote on an issue, the other party can simply "threaten" to filibuster, and the issue is tabled so they can move on with their business and go home early. If you're going to filibuster, then get on down to the floor and start talking bitch. Then stay there, continuing to talk, passing the floor on to your fellow party members for as long as needed to either get the floor to vote to end the filibuster, or vote on the issue at hand..
