About this episode
Congressman Eric Burlison discusses his desire for the federal filibuster to mirror the Missouri Senate's filibuster rules.
On a special edition of Politically Speaking, Congressman Eric Burlison talks with STLPR's Jason Rosenbaum about why he wants the federal filibuster to resemble the Missouri Senate's filibuster. In the U.S. Senate, a filibuster doesn't require anyone to talk or exert much energy. In the Missouri Senate, a senator or senators can hold the floor as long as they want either until they stand down or until there's a forced vote.
