but, in other instances you look at the red and yellow lines, and can see the difference in motions vs filibusters.
The second chart: The red and yellow lines are NOT "motions vs filibusters". The red line is votes on cloture, and the yellow line is where that vote prevailed, and cloture was invoked. The blue line is not the entire number of motions about everything brought to the floor to be voted upon, it is the number of times a cloture motion was filed to (nearly always) end a fillibuster.

There is nothing at all in the second chart that tells one how many motions (to vote on this and that) were brought to the floor.

Now I give up for sure <g>
