Jonathan Bernstein on Filibuster Reform
June 7, 2010
Jonathan Bernstein, sage of political science, put together a superb series of posts on filibuster reform last week as a guest blogger for Ezra Klein. I liked them so much I thought I’d gather up links to all of them, so they’d be indexed in one place. So, here they are:
- Our dysfunctional Senate
- The logic behind Senate rules
- The democracy behind Senate rules
- Guidelines for Senate reform
- Best quote about why Senate reform is needed
- Assessing Senate reform proposals, Part 1
- Assessing Senate reform proposals, Part 2
- Wrapping up Senate reform with Superbill
I’ll comment on some of these another time. It’s excellent stuff that really challenges reform advocates to think hard about their positions.
