I agree with Gorsuch, and I love this idea, but until the legislative branch abandons procedures that prevent the deliberation from happening in the first place, this will keep happening.

There is a balance to be struck to avoid a completely ineffectual congress but I'm not sure a legislative body biased towards action is one you would actually want. Making it easier to kill bills than pass them has a natural stabilizing effect which I think is a net good for the country.
Sure but the original rules largely accommodate that. Anything that can get 60 Votes in the senate should pass.
