Over at the History News Network, UCLA history professor Joyce Appleby is collecting support of historians, political scientists, and legal scholars for a petition urging a change in the Senate filibuster rules. The text of the petition reads:
We, the undersigned, American historians, political scientists, and legal scholars, call upon our senators to restore majority rule to the United States Senate by revising the rules that now require the concurrence of 60 members before legislation can be brought to the floor for debate and restoring majority vote for the passage of bills.
You can check out the petition, along with instructions for signing it, here.
You forgot to include the "except when the Republicans are in control" clause.
Where were these people back in 2003?
