The Senate rules have had filibusters for a long, long time, and I don't think anyone can pretend with a straight face that they're unconstitutional.

1) I don't see anyone holding up ALL Senate business and reading from a phone book.
2) You know as well as I that filibusters were never intended to hold up floor votes on nominees. Yet you apparently have no problem with this usurpation of the nomination process, in contravention of the Constitution, by a Senate minority.
3) When (and if) the Dems win back the Senate in 2022, let's see if your view in #2 changes a bit.
