Senators are allowed to speak for or against a bill and a vote can not be taken until the everyone has had a reasonable opportunity to speak. However, there is a tactic known as the filibuster in which a senator or a group of Senators speak for no purpose except to delay a vote on the bill. The Senate can vote to end debate but this action currently required a 60% majority , so unless 60% of the senators want to end debate and get a vote, the debate can go on until the bill is withdrawn without a vote and the bill dies .
It would be Three-fifths of the Senate, or 60 members who vote against it.
Members of the legislature can prevent an item from being voted on by speaking without stopping (filibuster), thus refusing to let the item be brought to a vote.
