Congress: The First Branch Reviews
-
Nice supplemental. The articles had great historical context. I especially enjoyed learning about the framers' discussions on senate rotation, history of Super PACs. Interesting notion to look at lobbying with an office similar to public defender. However, PD in real life are severely underpaid, like Congressional staffers, so I expect that the solution offered would just add another layer of buraucracy.
