SAVING PHIL A. BUSTER On ''). An article by Jonathan Cohn in '' The New Republic '' argued that the ad, which claims that the Founding Fathers introduced the fillibuster as an important part of Checks And Balances , the advertisement's claim that the fillibuster is one of them is misleading: "It's simply a rule that the U.S. Senate set for itself in the early 1800s." Furthermore, the article argued that the ad played into Republican hands: "Excessive appeals to parliamentary fairness merely reinforce the public's sense that Democrats care more about legalisms than the difference between right and wrong... The filibuster has become a crutch for Democrats, a way to defend their programs and values without having to actually win over voters," which harms them politically in the long run because their programs will be less popular among the public. {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS |
