So what you are saying is that the Dems are "letting" the GOP use tactics that are not legal?

No, I said that fillibuster is legal, twice, within the quote you quoted.

So the Dems were content to sit on thier hands and just go along with whatever was presented when they were the minority party? Or did they use whatever tools at thier disposal to get thier point across?

The Dems used it, too. And the use has been increasing over the years. But when one looks at the number of fillibusters (requiring cloture, essentially thus requiring 60 votes for legislation to pass), this Senate has the most, ever.

Your next post will just say, "prove it", so here's a chart on fillibuster numbers requiring cloture

And here's the current Senate voting record
