I'm fine with the filibuster, but let's have a real filibuster!  Let's get back to the days of this:

You couldn't pull it off with C-SPAN and news networks, the backlash would be overwhelming.
I don't think a backlash would occur. In fact, if someone is so willing to hold the floor for days on end, they may be seen as a hero. Of course, it depends on whats being filibustered.
