The book explores the historical role of parliamentary obstruction, or the "filibuster," in the U.S. Senate, particularly during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Wawro and Schickler analyze how the Senate effectively navigated its lawmaking responsibilities despite the absence of formal rules governing debate, shedding light on the evolution of legislative processes and the dynamics of Senate operations during this pivotal period.
