Sen Tom Udall thinks so and wants to reform it according to an article in the New Mexico Independent.

Even if a filibuster attempt is unsuccessful, the process takes time. In recent years the majority has preferred to avoid filibusters by moving to other business when one is threatened and attempts to stop it have failed.

A filibuster used to be something that was extraordinarily rare, Udall told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow last week. He noted that in LBJ’s days, back in the 1954 to 1961 period, he only had to cut one filibuster off. This year, Harry Reid had to cut off 84.

Udall’s solution is through what he calls the Constitutional Option. He cites Article 1, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution, specifically the portion which says, Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.
