No one knows Congress like Norm Ornstein. He's been studying and writing about Congress for over 40 years. He is currently an 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. 

Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by The Laborers' International Union of North America. It's members working hard to rebuild America's crucial infrastructure using funds from the bi-partisan Infrastructure Act. More information at LIUNA.org.
