The Senate Has Forfeited Its Right to Exist

The filibuster is more important to DC Democrats than children’s lives.

Today, American schools are so plagued by terror of mass shooters that almost all of them drill for it regularly. As Kieran Healy writes, “My son and daughter have been institutionally readied to be shot dead as surely as I, at their age, was readied by my school to receive my first communion.” The Sandy Hook massacre was a decade ago, and the Senate has been doing nothing but blocking any gun control measures since that time. If any political body has ever forfeited its right to exist, it is the Senate.
