The Gang of 14 was a bipartisan group of Senators in the 109th United States Congress who successfully, at the time, negotiated a compromise in the spring of 2005 to avoid the deployment of the so-called "nuclear option" by Senate Republican Majority over an organized use of the filibuster by Senate Democrats. The term alludes to the phrase "Gang of Four", used in China to refer to four ex-leaders blamed for the abuses during the rule of Mao Zedong.

  • De Bende van 14 (Engels: Gang of 14) was een groep van Amerikaanse senatoren, bestaande uit zeven Democraten en zeven Republikeinen, in het 109e Amerikaans Congres. Ze onderhandelde met succes over een compromis in 2005 over het gebruik van een filibuster bij gerechtelijke benoeming. De Democratische senatoren John Kerry en Edward Kennedy probeerden een stemming over de benoeming van een aantal rechters, voor onder andere het Hooggerechtshof, te voorkomen door een filibuster in te zetten. Deze procedurele zet vereist 41 stemmen tegen het sluiten van het debat en wordt vaak ingezet om te voorkomen dat een wet waarvoor er wel een gewone meerderheid is, te blokkeren. De Republikeinen hadden echter al in mei gedreigd om de in te zetten, waardoor ze de Democraten de mogelijkheid zouden ontneme (nl)
