Senate Filibuster Rule Change Fails

Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley fell short in his attempt to change filibuster rules to prevent abuse. He needed two thirds of the senate to approve the measure, and only got 46 votes. The Bill would have required Senators to remain on the floor in order to block legislation. In a statement, merkley says he will continue to fight for filibuster rule changes. He says they will build on their support and hopefully pass reform in the future.
