Filibuster refers to a tactic that is used in the Senate in order to block a bill being considered by preventing it from being voted on passage. The only way to defeat a filibuster os by gaining passage of a cloture motion. This requires a three-fifths majority vote of the Senators present. The reason why filibusters do not take place in the House of Representatives is because the House has rules that limit the time spent on debates. On the other hand, the Senate places few limits on the rights of senators.

A recent filibuster occurred in 2016 when senator Chris Murphy gave an emotional debate on the subject of gun measures that lasted 15 hours. The result of this was that Murphy was able to secure votes on gun measures from both Democrats and Republicans.

A filibuster is a strategy used by members of the Senate in which individuals continuously talk or give a presentation in order to prevent or delay the Senate from voting on a bill.

A filibuster can be defeated by a cloture vote. A cloutre vote can be called in the Senate during the filibuster process. This calls for an up or down vote to end the debate on a specific topic. In order to end the filibuster, there must be a super majority vote (2/3rds vote).

In the <em>Lochner v. New York</em> case of 1905, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not <u>impose limits on the number of hours that employees could work.</u>

Further details:

A law passed in 1895 in the state of New York mandated that bakery employees could not work more than 10 hours a day and not more than 60 hours in a week.  A bakery owner named Joseph Lochner filed suit against the state, claiming the law was unconstitutional.  At the time, the Supreme Court decision was based on the idea that such laws violated an employee's "freedom of contract."  The majority of justices saw such a right implicit in the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, thinking that if employees agreed to work a heavy number of hours it was their right to do so.

In the time since the Lochner case, the Supreme Court has gone in the other direction, allowing laws that impose reasonable restrictions on businesses.  An example would be <em>West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish </em>(1937), which upheld the constitutionality of a minimum wage law passed in Washington state.
