No noticeable side effects, except for having the chorus to “River Deep, Mountain High” stuck in my head, but that’s *probably* because we watched the Tina Turner documentary last night.

This thread doesn't just show that the filibuster does, in fact, have a considerable "racial history" but that the argument of its defenders -- that it somehow promotes compromise -- is completely wrong.
When Southern Democrats filibustered anti-lynching bills in the 1930s, they walked away with a total victory. The bills never became law, and no compromise measures were passed.
The filibusterers won everything they wanted. Their opponents got nothing.
