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. 🧵
In this week’s episode of Politics in Question, @leedrutman and I answer all your questions about the redistricting wars, 1842 Apportionment Act, and judicial sortition. We also decide once and for all which one of us is the George Clooney of podcasting. https://t.co/xZBl2ybuMJ
Thanks to @kevinrkosar for featuring the paper @sorendayton and I wrote on factions and congressional reform at @understandcong. Grateful for the shoutout.
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.
