What about the filibuster? Is this good or bad for democracy?

The filibuster is horrible for democracy and I really don't see why it is still in use. It is childish and immature to waste american tax
dollars stalling so a bill won't pass. The time spent talking about meaningless things should be used to talk about making a compromise.
Granted it doesn't typically last that long but particularly with this health care bill it is becoming a liability. Americans need some sort of healthcare
reform. That much can be agreed on by both parties. They need to find a compromised and get it passed quick before it is too late to fix anything.
Filibusters are bad for democracy and the closure rule makes it difficult to stop it. Something should be done to put an end to this archaic and
meaningless practice.
