The filibuster has been used by the forces of reaction more often than the forces of progress. And it's profoundly undemocratic for loopholes written into the Constitution, by a wealthy class for their own use originally, to give rise to a situation in which a block of rural states representing less than 15% of the national population can completely forbid progressive legislation desired by the more populous, economically sucessful and (need I add it or is this not redundant?) BLUER states.
