OK, so the whole filibuster procedure is where I was falling down on understanding for this one. (It seems like it's used all the damn time anymore - then again, when you're the party who just likes saying "no" for no's sake, as modern Congressional Republications seem to be, it's sort of hard to tell when you have a sincere gripe against impending legislation, and when you're just playing games because you can.)
