It went all-but-unnoticed in the blizzard of news stories on President Obama’s plans to attack ISIL, but Republican senators on Monday again turned to the filibuster rule to block legislation backed by a clear majority of their colleagues. <\/p>

This time, the legislative victim was the “Paycheck Fairness Act,” a bill designed to bring the salaries paid to tens of thousands of women in line with those of men holding comparable jobs. <\/p>

While 52 of the 100 senators favored ending debate and proceeding to a vote on the bill, the minority used the filibuster rule to squash it. The rule requires a 60-vote supermajority to end debate and force action, even if only a simple majority is needed to actually pass the legislation. <\/p>

The Senate vote came one day before release of a Census Bureau report that indicated a small narrowing of the gender pay gap, with the female-to-male earnings ratio climbing above 78 percent for the first time ever. The continuing gender pay gap is one reason why median family incomes remain below their pre-recession levels.<\/p>
