Shorter Dana Milbank: Since American political history started in 2013, it is clear that the United States Senate is a much more effective and functional legislative body than the House of Representatives.

Shorter William Jacobson: My only quibble with Milbank’s astute analysis is his claim that Republicans have abused the filibuster. Why, 70% of the Senate’s cloture motions have been filed without Mitch McConnell as minority leader! And almost half of the filibusters of executive branch nominees occurred in the 220 years before Barack Obama took office! Why won’t Milbank accept my bare assertion that by definition only the Democrat Party can abuse the filibuster?

…McCarter has more. And, yes, “Establishmentarians…are against fires and fire hoses alike.” And, even better, “The threat to nominate more Scalias is about as frightening as Iran threatening to cut off its donations to the Jewish National Fund.”
