Umnxeba wakhe uphumelele i-52-48, kuphela ngabathathu kuphela abaDemokhrasi bavota ngokuchasene notshintsho lomthetho olushenxise amandla okufilibuster nakubaphi na abonyulwa nguMongameli ngaphandle kweNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseMelika. Le yindlela ekufanele ukuba ibekho, utshilo uReid. Owayesakuba nguMongameli u-Barack Obama uxhase utshintsho lomthetho ka-Reid, esithi amaRiphabhlikhi asebenzise i-filibuster rhoqo kunomyinge wembali ukuthintela ukuqinisekiswa kwabakhethiweyo.
INkokeli ye-Senate Minority uMitch McConnell wathembisa ngokuziphindezela kwaye wayenethemba lokuphinda abuyise isininzi kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu kulonyulo oluzayo lowama-2014, abathi balwenza ngempumelelo. Isigqibo sikaReid sibonakalise ukuba sithwale izibonelelo zexesha elifutshane kwiiDemokhrasi; ibeka umzekelo kuMcConnell ukuba asebenzise ukhetho olufanayo lokutyhala umtyunjwa kaMongameli uDonald Trump kwiNkundla ePhakamileyo, uNeil Gorsuch.
Enkosi kuni nonke enindikhuthazileyo ukuba ndithathele ingqalelo utshintsho lwefibuster. Kwakufuneka yenziwe.

UMcConnell kutshanje uthembise ukungayibulali ifilibuster yomthetho, nangona kunjalo Ezopolitiko ixelwe Ubuye wathi ukusebenzisa inyukliya ukuqinisekisa umtyunjwa weNkundla ePhakamileyo uNeil Gorsuch ekuhambeni kwethuba kule veki kubuyisela nje into ebelisiko kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu phambi kwemfazwe yokuchongwa kwezomthetho kuqhume ngexesha lolawulo luka George W. Bush. Ukhetho lwenyukliya lwathintelwa ngo-2005 ngaphezulu kweenkundla ezininzi ezithathwa yinkundla yaseBush, kodwa ukusetyenziswa kukaReid kuyo ngo-2013 kwavumela abatyunjwa bakaTrump abaninzi ukuba bangafumani siqinisekiso kwiNdlu yeeNgwevu ngesininzi esilula. Ngoku, amaRiphabhlikhi isetyenzisiwe igunya lokutshintsha imigaqo kwakhona ukusebenzisa lo mthetho ulula wesininzi ekutyunjweni kweNkundla ePhakamileyo.
IDemocratic Party isoyikisile Iifayile ivoti, kodwa kusetyenziswa ukhetho lwenyukliya, amaRiphabhlikhi ngoku ayakwazi ukuqinisekisa uGorsuch. Inkqubo ye- Iqela leDemokhrasi ayinamandla kule meko. I-filibuster yayisisixhobo sokuqinisekisa ukuba nawuphi na umthetho okanye abonyulwa abaphunyezwe yiNdlu yeeNgwevu bafumana ubuncinci inkxaso ethile. Reid wabeka umzekelo onobungozi ekutshintsheni imigaqo yokunciphisa i-filibuster, kwaye ngoku iRiphabhlikhi iyiphinde yabuya kwakhona ukuze izalisekise i-ajenda yazo. Ngenxa yokungasebenzi kakuhle kweNdlu yeeNgwevu, kusenokwenzeka ukuba kungumbandela wexesha ngaphambi kokuba ifilibuster yenziwe ingenantsingiselo xa isetyenziswa kumthetho.
