Tom Udall actually said...

"the threat of filibusters has become an almost daily fact of life in the Senate."

"one Congress cannot bind a subsequent Congress."

"the filibuster used to be the exception to the rule. In today's Senate, it is becoming a straitjacket."

"I think that we need to adjust the rules, not to become the House, but to become a restored, effective Senate with the power to deliberate so we can do our jobs and do them better."
