Summary
This week on Moment of Truth, the "Maeven of the Senate" Rachel Bovard returns to explain the gritty details behind the effort to remove the filibuster restriction in the U.S. Senate. Rachel shares the rich history of Senate procedure, how it has changed (and who changed it!), as well as lays out the pros and cons of changing it now at President Trump's request. She also offers some dramatic alternatives that Senate leadership could impose right away that would force Democrats to participate in the deliberative process. Stick around to the end, as she and Nick share their perspectives on the recent Arctic Frost scandal and how CPI has weather the storm of Jack Smith's investigations.
