Why Senate rules should be changed


Consider this from Gail Collins:
When we’re choosing a leader for the nation’s central banking system, one of the important things to consider is whether Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has heard enough testimony about the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya.
Or this.
This is an excellent opportunity to recall the time that then-Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky held up the confirmation of a nominee to be deputy trade representative because he was irked about Canada’s ban on candy-flavored cigarettes.
If we can't elect better people than this, we need better rules to keep them in line.
