Not to mention the "virtual filibuster" was largely invented by another senator from WV.

So even if we keep the filibuster, changing it to something better should be on the table. Make the filibusters work with a requirement that 40% vote against proceeding instead of needing 60% to vote for. Also abolish figurehead non-recess sessions that killed recess appmts
