Senator Bernie Sanders

Wed 07/15/03 Noon & 7pm The US Senate has once again come to a showdown over filibusters. Our own Senator Bernie Sanders is in favor of dramatically changing the Senate's rules on filibusters. He famously took to the floor of the Senate himself in 2010 for eight and a half hours to speak against the extension of Bush era tax cuts.

We'll speak with Senator Sanders about his own history on filibusters, and how he thinks the Senate could be fixed. Email your questions for the Senator to vermontedition@vpr.net, or leave your comments below.
