Top on the list should be eliminating the gerrymandering of safe seats in the house of representatives and the blocking procedures in senate rules and filibusters .

首要任务应该是遏制众议院安全席徇私舞弊，减少参议院规则中的阻挠程序和阻挠议员。

And if he cheats and filibusters , mr tsvangirai should simply walk out .

反之，如果他进行欺骗或者阻碍议案通过，那么，茨万吉拉伊先生将一走了之。

They were even rewarded for problems they had created ; they had killed health care , campaign finance reform , and lobbying reform with senate filibusters .

他们甚至为他们造成的问题得到了奖励；他们使用参议院阻挠议事的手段，封杀了医疗保健改革法案、竞选筹资改革法案和议会游说改革法案。

Next year the democrats will have large majorities in both arms of congress , but not quite enough seats in the senate to shut down filibusters and make republicans irrelevant .

明年，民主党在国会的两院都将占有更大份额，不过席位还没达到足以限制住阻挠派而让共和党人置身事外。

President obama now deplores filibusters ; senator obama filibustered an up or down vote on nominees like samuel alito to the supreme court and john bolton to a u. s.ambassadorship .

奥巴马总统如今谴责阻挠议事者；奥巴马参议员却曾经阻挠过一个直接投票，那是关于提名塞缪尔阿利托为美国最高法院大法官和约翰博尔顿为美国常驻联合国大使。
