I grew up thinking the filibuster was an odd mechanism. It wasn't brought up often, it was always regarded in classes as (to be kind) "alternative politics." I don't recall it being used often even by the minority. Now it's all over the place. I've not researched this at all, but am interested in why the filibuster is coming to a head. What is different now? Is this a symptom of our failing cooperation or has something else changed?
