She's been filibustering the F out of it!
As more and more anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ legislation keeps popping up this year, one senator out of Nebraska has given us hope that there are still some US politicians fighting for justice and equity.
A filibuster is an action often used by congress to delay a vote on a bill. In order for a vote to happen, a bill has to be out of the debate stage, so a filibuster is a way to keep the bill in the debate stage indefinitely. Members of congress will talk for hours on end so no official vote can happen. Basically, it’s a way to block legislation by talking forever.
Cavanaugh only recently agreed to momentarily stop filibustering, as Speaker John Arch has agreed to bring the Bill to the floor for an official debate. The debate is scheduled for next week.
