Abstract
Description
The specter of government shutdown and default on America’s debts is becoming a routine feature of Washington politics. One of the country’s best known experts on Congress – Norm Ornstein – returns to Minnesota to dissect the latest twists and turns in the nation’s capital as Speaker Boehner departs and Congress struggles to do the people’s business. Mr. Ornstein’s sober cataloguing of congressional dysfunction, The Broken Branch:How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track, was recently bested by the still more dispiriting book, It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism, which foreshadowed the partisan breakdown we now face.
