How and why to Reform the Filibuster

I read an article from the January 2017 issue of Imprimis (a publication of Hillsdale College). The article wad adapted from a speech given by Tom McClintock.

In this article Congressman McClintock makes the case that the Filibuster needs to be reformed. He argues that the changes made to the Filibuster rule in 1970 have hampered the Senate's ability to vote on bills in a timely manner.

His recommended reforms include doing away with the two-track system that was implemented in 1970 and requiring senators to be limited to two two-hour speeches per bill.
