Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation’s Election Law Reform Initiative discusses the history and future of the filibuster with the Washington Examiner’s Sarah Westwood.

Democrats are aiming to weaken or end the filibuster to pass their agenda. Von Spakovsky talks about what that would mean for the Senate and politics in general.
