Thing is...I haven't even heard of any actual fillibuster's taking place.

As I understood it...the Republicans threatened to do it...and the Dems caved in. No actual week long fillibuster's ever happened (like they used to do 100 years ago)

So the Dems decided that they don't have a "super majority" to put down a fillibuster and so they just didn't even bother.
Oh wait a minute...they DID have a super majority at one point. But they still didn't DO anything.
