Thats not a list either.. Whats the matter, cant backup your own claims?
Since you're unaware, filibuster is a process for the minority to use and stop the majority from a "takeover". And republicans (and democrats alike) have done so plenty of times. Let me at least give you a few counts:
106th Congress (1999-2000): 58 times (most with democrats as a minority)
110th Congress (2007-2008): 112 times
111th Congress (2009-2010, 2 months): 40 times

I know darn well what a fiibuster is, but that doesnt backup your claims. What one of these would have fixed illegal immigration issues?
