مستخلص: |
The article looks at how a senate rule prevents the democratic majority from passing laws to protect women's rights in the U.S. It highlights the Senate Rule XXII which requires senators to invoke cloture to end debate and move to a vote, requiring a 60-vote majority, and if the cloture motion is unsuccessful, the bill is killed by the filibuster. It presents the views of Tre Easton, deputy director at the Battle Born Collective, on how the filibuster stands in the way of proactive government. |
