It is what it is.

Who are we to make value judgments on the world, right?

Speak for yourself.

You abjure subjectivizing when others do it, but expect solicitude when you knit your brows in concern.

is racist in the sense that the filibuster was used by racists to block civil rights for non-whites

Repugs abused it, 250 cloture votes in Obama's last year, to obstruct absolutely everything from the Dems.

filibuster is essentially "minority rule", so why the bother to obtain a majority that can't do anything?

The Senate is ed, the ing Cons ution gave us a rigged, perverted, anti-democratic govt structure.

Value judgments good now, I guess.
