Norm Ornstein has been studying and writing about Congress and politics for over 40 years. He is currently a Senior Emeritus Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a mostly conservative think tank. He wrote (along with Thomas E. Mann) It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism. When it came out in paperback, they changed the title to It's Even Worse Than It Looks Was. Now he says, jokingly, if they did another edition, he might call it Run for Your Lives. This is Ornstein’s fifth appearance on The Bill Press Pod, so highly does Bill value his opinions and insights. 

Today’s Bill Press Pod is supported by The Laborers' International Union of North America . Having built most of America's iconic buildings, they are now rebuilding America's infrastructure. More information at LIUNA.org.
