Sorry, you'll have to explain that one to me. How is useing existing rules of Congress to prevent passage of legislation by the majority party in any way at all similar to an idividual threatening to kill someone? You really lost me here. Not jabbing at you, just not following.

I intended the Filibuster to be a corrolary to what they Democrats in WI are doing. Using the rules to prevent legislation from being passed. You could possibly argue that the Filibuster is a more express rule and the abuse exercised by Congretional Republicans is more slight in degree. But you can't deny that they are related in some manner and speak to the point.
