The filibuster is a tradition in the Senate that allows a minority of senators to prolong debate on legislation, effectively delaying or blocking a vote. This practice underscores the Senate's role as a deliberative body, emphasizing extended discussion and consensus-building over swift decision-making. It reflects the belief that minority opinions should be heard and considered, promoting a more thorough examination of issues. While controversial, it has been a defining characteristic of Senate proceedings for decades.
