Reid was afraid that these
threatened filibusters would actually take place and would slow down the work of the Senate too much. He therefore set out to formulate legislation that would have the support of 60 Senators the number necessary to stop a filibuster under Rule XXII, or cloture. He sought legislation that he thought would be filibuster proof before he would introduce it.
In essence, by simply threatening to filibuster, McConnell was able to block legislation without lifting a finger. No Republican senator had to make the effort of standing on the Senate floor filibustering for days and the public had no idea why nothing was getting done.

If youâre a one-issue voter and that issue is letting voters decide if Colorado Springs should allow recreational marijuana shops, youâre in luck.
That question gets a thumbs up from candidates in five of six Colorado Springs City Council races on the April 6 ballot. Neither of the candidates in eastern District 6 responded to the
Indyâs candidate questionnaire.
The 19 candidates in the other five districts split almost evenly, 10 to 9, on whether to give voters a whack at allowing retail pot stores.
The current Council turned away a ballot measure proposal last year citing confusion over details of how it would be implemented. The marijuana industry itself has never attempted to collect the thousands of signatures needed for a citizen-driven ballot initiative, which, if their petitions were found sufficient, would take the choice out of Councilâs hands.Â
