What's so good about the filibuster anyway?
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
Hour 1
With the election of Scott Brown as U.S. senator from Massachusetts, Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority. There’s a lot of debate at the moment about the filibuster – is it a useful tool or a political tactic to stall legislation? We’ll devote this hour of "Radio Times" to a conversation about the history and the use (and perhaps over-use) of the filibuster. Our guests are congressional scholar SARAH BINDER and DON RITCHIE, historian of the U.S. senate.
