After Voting to Keep the Filibuster in Place in the US Senate, Arizona Democrats Censure Senator Sinema in Her Home State
Finally, a Democrat votes against something that will further destroy the country, and as a result, she gets censured by her own party.
The filibuster has been a part of the policy in Congress in Washington DC for more than a century according to History.com.
A filibuster is a political strategy in which a senator speaks—or threatens to speak—for hours on end to delay efforts to vote for a bill. The unusual tactic takes advantage of a U.S. Senate rule that says a senator, once recognized on the floor, may speak on an issue without being impeded by anyone. While various rule changes have tempered the filibuster’s power over the past century, it still offers unique leverage to the minority political party in the Senate.
