The main problem now, without the filibuster, is that the president has no incentive to reach across the aisle as long as he has a majority in the Senate. And right now, he has one, at least until mid-January.
I think we are seeing the crying need for the return of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominations, regardless of which party is “in control.”
Loss of the filibuster is what has turned the Senate into a circus!
Oh, wait! The circus is yet another fine Roman tradition that we’ve adopted.
