the cambridge dictionary defines it as involving careful and discussion when making decisions. so, for example, you might say she deliberated over the menu. and incidentally, when someone over the menu, they ultimately on what to order or they go hungry. but when we look to the senate these days, we see less deliberation. we see less real debate and compromise, fewer bills passing, fewer amendments, getting voted on to address the policy concerns of senators and their constituents. and we see the filibuster or rather automatic threat of one as the culprit. for those of you who aren't steeped in arcane senate rules, a allows any senator to hold passage of most bills unless 60 of their colleagues vote to cut off debate. for years, filibuster ers took the form of senators standing and speaking for hours on end to deliberate or often to gum up the works. today, a single senator can signal they want to hold a bill, prevent its passage. in fairness, that may not always be clear. deliberation gives way to inaction or even obstruction. the recent monthslong blockade of senior promotion
