Description
The topic of today's episode is “What is the filibuster?” And does it have a future? My guest is Dr. Molly Reynolds, who is a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. She studies Congress, with a focus on how congressional rules and procedures affect domestic policy outcomes. She also supervises the maintenance of the “Vital Statistics on Congress,” Brookings’ long running resource on the first branch of government. Importantly, for our episode today, Molly is the author of the book Exceptions to the Rule: the Politics of Filibuster Limitations in the US Senate.
