WASHINGTON<\/strong> \u2014 Despu\u00e9s de pasar un a\u00f1o viendo a los republicanos interponerse todo menos el fregadero de la cocina en el camino de la agenda de los dem\u00f3cratas, el senador estadounidense Jeff Merkley cree que es hora de cambiar la forma en que funciona el Senado.<\/p>\n

El objetivo del dem\u00f3crata de Oreg\u00f3n es la herramienta m\u00e1s poderosa del partido minoritario: el obstruccionismo, que, cuando se invoca, retrasa el trabajo en un proyecto de ley o nominaci\u00f3n determinado y requiere votaciones que consumen mucho tiempo, con el acuerdo de 60 senadores, para que las cosas vuelvan a moverse.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimplemente van a tratar de tirarle ladrillos a todo\u201d, dijo Merkley. "Est\u00e1 fuera de control."
Para acelerar los asuntos del Senado, Merkley ha tenido conversaciones informales con sus colegas sobre formas de limitar el obstruccionismo, incluida la restricci\u00f3n de su uso al confirmar a los candidatos de la administraci\u00f3n o proyectos de ley de gastos, o eliminar la herramienta cuando las mayor\u00edas son peque\u00f1as, por lo que las objeciones de un partido minoritario no no detendr\u00e1 el negocio.<\/p>\n

Los senadores del partido mayoritario se han quejado durante mucho tiempo de que los filibusteros est\u00e1n minando la fuerza que les otorgan los votantes, pero ha pasado m\u00e1s de un cuarto de siglo desde que dieron un paso significativo para reducir el poder de la maniobra.<\/p>\n

Los partidos minoritarios tienen un historial de retrasar la agenda del partido en control. Y la idea de que el Senado deber\u00eda tomarse su tiempo ha existido desde el nacimiento de la naci\u00f3n. George Washington le dijo a Thomas Jefferson que \u201cvertemos legislaci\u00f3n en el platillo senatorial para enfriarlo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Los acad\u00e9micos del Congreso dicen que probablemente tampoco sea probable que los dem\u00f3cratas logren cambiar las cosas esta vez. Pero coincidieron en que los partidos minoritarios se han vuelto m\u00e1s dispuestos a usar obstrucciones para retrasar los asuntos del Senado. Las estad\u00edsticas de votos para poner fin a los filibusteros, llamados invocar la clausura, compilados por la Oficina del Historiador del Senado de los EE. UU. no partidista, encontraron que esos votos se duplicaron con creces en el Congreso de 2007-08 a un r\u00e9cord hist\u00f3rico de 112. La c\u00e1mara est\u00e1 en camino de obtener unos 80 votos de clausura en el Congreso 2009-10, que ser\u00eda el segundo total m\u00e1s alto.<\/p>\n

El ejemplo m\u00e1s flagrante de obstrucci\u00f3n, dijo Merkley, ha sido el proyecto de ley de salud que fue aprobado por el Senado en Nochebuena. En lugar de debatir el m\u00e9rito de temas cr\u00edticos, como una opci\u00f3n de seguro p\u00fablico o la cobertura del aborto, \u201cno hubo un esfuerzo de buena fe para presentar ese tipo de enmiendas, y eso significa que perdimos la oportunidad de lo que podr\u00eda haber sido una serie de debates muy valiosos. y votos\u201d, dijo Merkley.<\/p>\n

Pero Merkley dijo que quiere divorciar su esfuerzo por reformar las reglas obstruccionistas de la pol\u00edtica actual. Es por eso que est\u00e1 dando vueltas a la idea de reformas que no entrar\u00edan en vigor durante a\u00f1os, por lo que ninguna de las partes se beneficiar\u00eda claramente.<\/p>\n

El truco, dijo Merkley, es encontrar una manera de permitir que los senadores individuales tomen una posici\u00f3n sobre temas importantes, sin requerir una mayor\u00eda calificada para los asuntos cotidianos.<\/p>\n
