Article Description

One solution to end the government shutdown is for Republicans to end the filibuster in the Senate, which would allow them to pass legislation with a simple majority. However, many Republican senators are vocally defending the sixty-vote requirement.

This principle is vital not only to our democratic governance but also to our souls.
