Finish the Filibuster?




Maybe a reason some of you wondered about what Congressional Conference Committees do is the continued filibuster use in the Do-Nothing Congress. Comment if you agree or disagree with my guy, Chris Matthews.

BTW, from the US Senate glossary:

conference committee - A temporary, ad hoc panel composed of House and Senate conferees which is formed for the purpose of reconciling differences in legislation that has passed both chambers. Conference committees are usually convened to resolve bicameral differences on major and controversial legislation.
