You can’t just erase history for your cult
You cannot just make up history for yours, Desh. No filibuster existed at the inception of the Senate, none took place. The first filibuster took place sometime around 1837, the word didn't even exist until ~1850. The rule to end debate at the inception of the US Senate was a simple majority vote, that is what the Founders created.
 
Ok gentle readers

Are you getting it?

The right is a mindless cult that will deny facts to their face to please the cult

Geebus. Do you actually understand things you read? I quoted that same page in my first posts here.

Again. No matter how much you try.

The original Senate had a rule that ended debate (what we now call cloture) with a simple majority.
 
It’s the word the Senate sight uses to describe the history of the senate
Wrong. They said "long speeches" and if you read that page it even tells you when they ended the rule that stopped debate after a simple majority vote, the same rule I have informed you of repeatedly here (you know, the one called the "previous question" rule).

Read the page, it says the same thing I said. Actually read it, educate yourself. Stop remaining purposefully ignorant and glorifying something that didn't even exist until well after the first Senate.

I get that you want to be right, but the reality is, actual history is: The Founders set up a Senate where debate ended on a simple majority vote.
 
Keep it. Force these bunch of idiots to figure out a way to work together or, hopefully, get voted out of office.
The Founders purposely set this govt. up so that without compromise, nothing gets accomplished. They never dreamed that corporations would own the govt. and prefer that nothing ever gets done.
 
Does the senate sight describe it as a filibuster?


Yes

You are deep in the cult now

I’m still not convinced you are the actual person who started the sight
No, it does not. It tells you the "first filibusters" took place in mid 19th century. READ the site.
 
The tactic of using long speeches to delay action on legislation appeared in the very first session of the Senate. On September 22, 1789, Pennsylvania Senator William Maclay wrote in his diary that the “design of the Virginians . . . was to talk away the time, so that we could not get the bill passed.” As the number of filibusters grew in the 19th century, the Senate had no formal process to allow a majority to end debate and force a vote on legislation or nominations.


The full paragraph I quoted in the article about filibusters
 
The Founders purposely set this govt. up so that without compromise, nothing gets accomplished. They never dreamed that corporations would own the govt. and prefer that nothing ever gets done.
The Founders did not set up the filibuster. They had a rule that ended debate with a simple majority, that rule was not removed until 1806.
 
It’s the history of filibusters
*sigh*

READ it. It says the same thing I have said here. Don't read the first sentence, ignore the information it gives, and then refuse to take in any more information. I get that is your norm, but you can do better. I've always believed you can, and you've always failed to meet the challenge.
 
in which one or more members of a legislative body prolong debate on proposed legislation so as to delay or entirely prevent a decision.
