In a century and a half, so much and so little had changed. The emergency stop on an amusement ride is similar to that on industrial equipment. Typically brakes on a ride are designed to be disengaged when power is applied; disconnecting power will cause all brakes to engage. Most amusement rides have a computer that can, similar to the rail example provided above, engage the emergency stop when such a ride is determined to be out of operating specification, or an accident involving a passenger or ride employee has happened.

Details are in the book about the roles of John C. Calhoun and Richard Russell in creating the filibuster. The good news is that unlike some other political problems, fixing the filibuster does not require amending the COTUS. Weakening or abolishing the filibuster takes only 51 votes.

Kill Switch review: how the Senate filibuster props up Kill Switch review: how the Senate filibuster props up

This should be a book read by every Freshman in college. Dense politics, carefully researched, and slightly partisan. President Obama rightly called the filibuster a “Jim Crow relic.” It clearly delayed passage of civil rights legislation for many years, and prevented an anti-lynching law for generations. It preserved the Electoral College in 1969, and continues to primarily benefit white conservatives.

The plan for reform is simple: Restore the requirement for actual debate to replace the anonymous hold. This gives the minority every opportunity to state its case. Then amend the rules to provide a cloture vote after a certain number of days, using a simple majority. Jentleson understands the inner workings of the institution, down to the most granular details, showing precisely how arcane procedural rules can be leveraged to dramatic effect.”—Jennifer Szalai, New York Times On large industrial machines, an emergency stop button is typically located on the panel, and possibly in several other areas of the machine. Often, an emergency stop is made wireless using a remote control. This provides a rapid means to disconnect the energy source of the device to protect workers. [14] For fail-safe operation, the emergency stop button is a normally closed switch, which ensures that a broken wire will not prevent it from being activated, but may accidentally activate the emergency stop.

This is the book that changed my view of the filibuster. I had seen it as an obstructionist tool wielded by both sides, one that could prove problematic but was overall not a necessary talking point.
