'What is the Filibuster? - Political Terms Every American Should Know' by atrigueiro politics filibuster
Americans have heard much about the filibuster. I expect they will be hearing a lot more now that a Supreme Court seat is in the mix. What are these weird parliamentary rules causing the nation to be broken? Many Americans think it is a relic of a forgotten halcyon time in America where sixty votes was easy to achieve. Over coming weeks and months, all Americans will hear are 60 votes are necessary for cloture. That is the parliamentary move to end debate and call a vote.
out into the zeitgeist. This essay takes a position on the filibuster itself rather than on any particular piece of legislation. It is in the hope Americans will put ALL ONE HUNDRED Senators feet to the fire so Americans at least hear some debate. Americans might learn what these privileged politicians believe. What are they willing to STAND for?
Presently, all the U.S. Senator has to do to start and maintain a filibuster is draft a one-sentence letter informing leadership of their intent to “filibuster”. That is it. That makes no sense except it does give ONE person quite a bit of extra-constitutional power. A filibuster should be a principled stand against the majority. If a person wants to stand in the face of a whole nation’s legislative process, there needs to be some work put in, not a hand scribbled note.
The filibuster has been broken for a long time. Neither party is telling the truth about it. For many years, a Senator has merely needed to write ‘filibuster’ on a card, then pass it to the parliamentarian and NO DEBATE happened.
