I've been waging war on the rats coming into the chicken run and some are so bold as to even be out in late afternoon. I've used snap traps, plaster balls, an electronic trap and a live trap with varyiing results.
Filibusters in the United States are commonly found in the Senate when the minority party doesnât approve of a bill that was proposed by the majority party. Filibusters allow a specific person, or group of people, to speak for as long as they wish and may discuss any topic that they choose.
Understanding the Filibuster. Purpose and History of the Filibuster. The filibuster was initially conceived of as a way to ensure that minority opinions were heard and understood before the Senate voted on an issue. Senate rules first allowed for filibusters in 1806, though the first filibuster actually occurred more than 30 years later, in 1837. They continued to be rare for more than another century. The idea behind the filibuster was simple: As long as a senator kept talking on the floor, a bill could not move forward.
