One additional scenario involves the impact of big Democratic wins in the House, Senate and the Presidency. Republicans only way to stop legislation would be a filibuster in the Senate. Senate rules allow a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose. This can only be stopped by a vote for cloture which requires a supermajority of three-fifths of the Senate (60 Senators, if all 100 seats are filled). Filibusters have a long history in blocking employment laws. There is a good explanation on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster#United_StatesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
