Jeff Merkley: “People always give assurances until the moment a military coup starts or the counting is suspended and not resumed.”

America today is larger, busier and more complex than the America our Founding Fathers designed the Senate and its rules to govern.

This is an insult to Congress and the Constitution.

Immigration court proceedings must uphold fairness and rule of law and not be politicized to satisfy Donald Trump’s arbitrary detention quotas.

To be clear: Both parties have played a role in creating Senate dysfunction, and both have a responsibility to fix it.
