Scaegles, do you have a link that shows it was filibustered? I've been looking around and have been unable to find any evidence that it was. The article you posted never said it was. According to the Senate website the last action on the bill was "Jul 28, 2005: Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably," which seems to indicate that it never left committee. The Republicans should have at least been able to get it out of committee on a party line vote, even if it didn't come before the full senate later.
