Discussion: The Hill
Steven Hayward / Power Line:
Filibuster Rope-a-Dope?  —  Did the crafty Mitch McConnell just succeed in getting Democrats to damage their long-term interest by nuking the filibuster?  I've always defended the filibuster (and still do) as a valid anti-majoritarian device, especially useful for when fitful voters …
