| "The Senate Through the Ages" |
|
|
"[T]he Senate of the United States is unique among all legislative bodies in the world. It is the only important chamber in which debate cannot be curbed - in which there cannot be action when a majority of members are willing and eager to act. Parliamentary obstruction - filibustering - is a political sport for which the season is always open."
-Lindsay Rogers,
'The Most Remarkable of all the Inventions of Modern Politics,' Parliamentary Affairs 3, Winter 1949.
