@thammuz In the US senate they actually have votes to decide whether or not they’ll take time to debate a piece of legislation and then vote whether or not to approve it. This is normally a simple majority vote, if 51 or more senators vote to take the legislation into debate they do so. BUT, if the majority in favor of debating the legislation is less than 60 (the “super-majority”) then any member of the minority can “filibuster” the legislation.
A filibuster is a parliamentary movement that lets a member of the minority in a vote speak, as long as they want, about a topic before it goes to vote as to whether or not the senate will debate it. If someone chooses to filibuster it they have to stand at the podium and talk (about anything they want) and can only have water and no bathroom breaks (that may be like 1 break every 2 hours, I forget). When that person is done with their filibuster, then the senate votes and a simple majority (51) is enough to take it to debate. BUT, as many members of the minority as they want can filibuster it as many times as they want, one at a time, possibly drawing out the filibuster for days and weeks and months (as was done during civil rights legislation in the 60’s).
The argument the OP is making, is why don’t we let them filibuster. That way they have to go up there and speak non-stop, and look like the idiots they are and be exposed for the frauds they are.
Unfortunately the Democrats have refused to do this yet in the Obama presidency.
