However, I would say let us switch the burden. If in fact there is something wrong with this amendment--which I do not think there is; I think it has been clearly illustrated why it would help the business community of America and not help any one person that wants to file bankruptcy--let the Bankruptcy Review Commission look at this amendment after it passes rather than reversing it, and saying let us see if there is a better way can we do it. This is the best way to stop serial filings. Right now there is no way to stop serial filings. This would stop it.

The filibuster is going away. It is nothing that helps the country. It doesn’t help states. It doesn’t help individuals. It is on its way out. It’s a question of when it goes.
