Political Science Lecturer Scott Lemieux argues on the Think (NBCNews) web site that unless Democrats can get rid of the Senate filibuster then future Democrat presidents will have trouble passing legislation.
While some Democrats suggest that the filibuster should stay as it makes legislators from parties work together, there are many now on the campaign trail that want to dispense with it. But Prof. Lemieux argues that "... If the filibuster could restore bipartisan comity to American politics, it would have already happened."
