The classic film “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” portrays the fictional Jefferson Smith going to the nation's capital to speak out and block legislation from passing in the U.S. Senate. The scene showcases how one voice could stand in the way of corruption and graft. But while the “talking filibuster” was used quite often throughout the history of the U.S. Senate, it's not in place today. U.S. Rep. Eric Burlison discusses why he supports bringing back the talking filibuster in the U.S. Senate, particularly as it relates to attempts to pass legislation backed by President Trump.

Why do we romanticize historical outlaws and con artists? It is difficult to write about Wild West outlaws because the myths surrounding them bear little resemblance to the truth. Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith was one of those characters. Smith often donated money to good causes, but he earned that money by cheating and robbing people. When he relocated his criminal enterprise to Skagway, Alaska, during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897, the citizens soon grew weary of his cons and threats. The animosity led to a confrontation and a shootout, and soon, Jefferson Smith's life ended, and the legend of Soapy Smith began. Sources Charles River Editors.
