    Bills don’t come up for a vote if they’re filibustered. They leave committee, and then there’s debate. You need 60 votes–cloture–to end debate and bring a bill up for a floor vote. If either party leader has indicated that their party intend to filibuster a bill, then the bill never even comes up, because you’re not going to be able to end debate and take it up for a vote. If you want to see what was filibustered over the years, your best bet is going to be looking at what got referred out of committee, and then never got voted on in the first place.

    If you want to do that kind of legwork, be my guest.

    Are you saying that mediabiasfactcheck is unreliable? That’s a bold move there.
