Filibusters aren't the only obstructive tactics that Democrats in the Senate have been using. According to Fox (search) News, Democrats have even been able to stop legislation that has passed by refusing to reconcile the bills with the House.
Senate Democrats, however, have started a new method of stopping legislation from moving through the legislative process once a bill passes the Senate. They have refused to appoint members to conferences that House and Senate lawmakers must hold to iron out differences in similar, but not identical, bills passed in both chambers.I don't know about you, but where I work if you refuse to do your job you don't get a paycheck. What's next? Will Senate Democrats flee to Canada?
