Sean Duffy: ‘Stupid Filibuster Rule’ Makes the ‘Senate So Darn Dysfunctional’

‘It’s not the House, it’s the Senate that’s dysfunctional and can’t get its act together’

RUSH EXCERPT:
DUFFY: "This is so simple. Because the Senate has a stupid filibuster rule. So they are trying to craft healthcare reform with all these guardrails of budget reconciliation which are the rules of this — these 60 votes that the Senate needs. If you could blow open healthcare reform, and do competition across state lines and tort reforms as well as tax reform inside of ObamaCare, you could possibly get a deal. But when you use budget reconciliation, it doesn’t work. It makes the Senate so darn dysfunctional that we can’t even partner with them. So I think this is the first time, when America looks at the government, they say the Congress. Right now we get it. It’s not the House. It’s the Senate that’s dysfunctional and can’t get its act together."
