*Shrug* Appeal to the dictionary, is more like it.
You'd think the fact that you have your own personal definition of words would give you pause. Filibuster, socialism ... we really need a Cali-to-English translation when talking to you.

So let's assume you don't cave in through compromise. Instead you wait him out. In the meantime, what has happened? The Senate has been obstructed by one single dedicated Senator. Your use of the word "force" ironically highlights that no actual apparatus exists which can "force" the Senator to stop the obstructionism. There is no work around. There is no alternative plan. The 99 member majority must deal with the Senator for so long as he remains dedicated in opposition.

I didn't use the word "force."
