Bob Bennett: “Is 100-percent testing of the export market physically possible? Is that a feasible thing?”

I do not think that is what the original filibuster rule had in mind, but it has become the norm.

With sufficient foreign assistance, Iran could probably develop and test an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States by 2015.

The ability to obstruct is not unanimously and solely part of the United States Senate.

If we did away with the dual track... then you do have the 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,' but the Senate cannot function.
