Kill Switch
The Rise of the Modern Senate and the Crippling of American Democracy
Adam Jentleson - 2021-01-12
Goodreads Rating
"Kill Switch" explores how the Senate, controlled by a radically conservative minority, hinders progressive decision-making in an increasingly diverse and liberal country. Adam Jentleson argues that the Senate's devolution into a polarized institution can be blamed on both Democrats and Republicans since the 1950s. Without a reevaluation of Senate practices, including ending the filibuster, America may face the prospect of permanent minority rule. A must-read for anyone concerned with the fate of American democracy.

I spent the weekend reading ‘Kill Switch’ which is mostly about the history of the filibuster and I learned a lot. Below are my takeaways, what the Framers wanted, and the evidence that until recently the filibuster has mostly been used to suppress Black rights. (1/n)      source
