Chuck Schumer actually said...

"the dynamics of the Senate obviously are different, so but let me ask a not entirely rhetorical question, and that is, why do Senators filibuster?"

"Is this different than the moments with Bill Frist and the nuclear option?"

"It certainly is time for us to listen to Senator Harkin's thoughts about how to make this institution better."

"the filibuster become the norm, not the exception."
