E.J. Dionne Jr. - Chris Dodd, the Senate's happy warrior
By Sheila Samples
Dodd argues bipartisanship is vastly overrated. "There's nothing wrong with partisanship." As for the filibuster, his solution is simple: "When you filibuster, you filibuster." Make the Senate stay in session, require senators to keep talking and thereby raise the price of obstruction.
