S1E8: The filibuster is in the news - to keep or not to keep!


Listen Later

Since last week, Democratic Party's push to end the Senate's filibuster has picked up momentum. Republicans are against it and so are some Democrats... including a very important - the President of the United States. 
In this podcast, we analyze the history of the filibuster. How did it get started? How do Senators end a filibuster? Why has it morphed from a rare parliamentary procedure of the past to the prevalent practice of our present? And why would a U.S. Senator need a urine bucket close to the Senate floor?
