Online: The Filibuster- Its Past, Its Present, and Its Future

Please join us on Tuesday, October 20 at 4:00 PM for a Zoom meeting with Dr. Bruce Mallard, assistant professor of political science at Savannah State University.

Dr. Mallard will examine the Senatorial procedure called the filibuster, examining its history, procedural requirements, and evolution over time. The underlying question to this discussion, and in public discourse currently, is whether the filibuster has outlived its usefulness and should be abolished or if there is a compelling reason to continue it.
