This week, Joel is joined by Brown University political science chair and professor of political science Wendy Schiller (his favorite professor from college!). Schiller is an expert on the U.S. Senate and she and Joel discuss the recent events of the Trump-inspired insurrection at Capitol, the history of the U.S. Senate and whether the U.S. Senate is fundamentally broken. They also discuss what may happen in the Senate in the future, specifically the future of the Senate's filibuster rule. Here Comes the Payne is presented by Hip-Politics Network.
