Everyone is talking about changing the Senate rules.
Trump says Republicans should nuke the filibuster. Ron Johnson says the Senate should vote on changing its standing rules. And the fight over the SAVE America Act exposed how badly the current process distorts debate. 🧵

@DissidentClint Just do it. Anything. Try. And see what happens. That’s all there is to it.

[James Wallner @jameswallner]

I'll be publishing detailed articles on each of these reforms, including: filling the amendment tree, the previous question motion, and requiring votes when debate ends. If you think the Senate's problems go deeper than one rule, follow along at https://t.co/3bS6f4etQg.

The Senate can change its rules in ways that strengthen debate, protect amendments, and guarantee votes. I've started laying out that case here, with more to come on the other reforms.
