Philip Wallach, Senior Fellow at AEI and all-around super smart Congress guy, like to take walks together and talk about all things legislative politics. Today, we did it on camera instead. Topics we discuss include: Iran, IEEPA, Appropriations, Secret Congress, and the Talking Filibuster.

Here are some links to thinks we mention:

Philip on the IEEPA decision.

Philip on the better-than-expected appropriations process.

Philip’s book, Why Congress? and a short-form version of the argument, Congress Indispensable.

Kevin Kosar on Secret Congress.

Kevin McNellis on discretionary appropriations in reconciliation bills.

Me on the Talking Filibuster.
