About this listen

In 1975, a little-known Senate rule change was supposed to make filibusters easier to break. Instead, it accidentally created the legislative gridlock machine that defines Washington today. How a procedural tweak by well-meaning reformers broke the world's greatest deliberative body. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
