[Fredslist] FYI: 2010 Living Constitution Lecture with Senator Tom Harkin

[Corey Bearak]

 Thought this Brennan Center for Justice program might be on interest to some Gothamites (and you need not be an attorney).  Not sure I can make because I have to run a meeting in Northeast Queens at 8pm that eve.  I enjoyed the 2009 program that featured a talk by Rhode Island U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

The filibuster has long been a part of the U.S. Senate, its lore and its procedures. In recent years, use of the filibuster has exploded -- creating an effective 60-vote requirement for nearly all legislation and often bringing the chamber to a halt. Now, controversy abounds. Senator Tom Harkin has led efforts since the early 1990s to change the rules under which filibusters occur. He will discuss history, constitutional issues, and his plans for reform.
