A filibuster is an effective way to block a vote on any proposed legislation. It takes 60 votes to reach "cloture" - which means debate on a a particular bill is over and it's ready for a full vote on the Senate floor. Failure to reach cloture on a bill means it has been filibustered so negotiations with opposing Senators must take place to reach the magic number of 60 votes for cloture.
