It would seem to be, that if Harry and his nary band of fools, does try to bring their issue up for a vote, they wouldn’t be able to, because Cruz is “filibustering”.
From Wikipedia:
A filibuster in the United States Senate usually refers to any dilatory or obstructive tactics used to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote. The most common form of filibuster occurs when a senator attempts to delay or entirely prevent a vote on a bill by extending the debate on the measure, but other dilatory tactics exist. The rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless “three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn”[1] (usually 60 out of 100 senators) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture under Senate Rule XXII.
Thanks for that explanation. I read (IIRC it was earlier on this thread last night) that this is technically not a fillibuster because Cruz (bless him!) started speaking before a bill was up for a vote, not after it had been brought up. Fine line and I don’t know - just passing along info for others to consider and help clarify for me.
