The “abolish the filibuster” movement among Democrats has been set back by opposition from two key senators. As a result, opponents of minority rights in the US Senate have turned their attention to the Byrd Rule, an arcane, but vitally important pillar of Senate procedure that prevents non-tax, non-spending provisions from being tacked onto must pass budget reconciliation. Too complicated? Well, without the Byrd Rule, the filibuster won’t be needed, and passing into law D.C. statehood, a $15 dollar minimum wage, and Supreme Court packing will require only 50 votes. What is the Byrd Rule? How has it become the filibuster work-around? Martin Gold joins Dany and Marc to discuss budget reconciliation, the Byrd Rule, and its significance in Senate procedure. They also dive into legislative history to better understand how we got here.   Martin B. Gold is a partner with Capitol Counsel, LLC.

After supporting and using the filibuster for years, Joe Biden announced in July that, if elected president, he would support eliminating the legislative maneuver. As more Senate Democrats come out in support of abolishing the filibuster, what could this mean for American democracy? Martin Gold joined Dany and Marc to discuss the history of the filibuster and the implications of its elimination. He explains how, without the filibuster, one party’s control of the House, Senate, and White House would enable it to make lasting and unprecedented changes to the fundamental structure of American checks and balances.

What are the details of the "Shanghai Communiqué," the joint diplomatic declaration by President Nixon and China's leadership, after the American President's historic trip to China in February 1972?

Gold, author, attorney, lecturer at George Washington University, and floor advisor and counsel to the offices of senate majority leader Bill Frist and Howard Baker. He is the author of several books, including "Senate Procedure and Practice" and "A Legislative History of the Taiwan Relations Act." Interview by Jonathan Movroydis.

Where did President Nixon’s historic trip to China in 1972 and official normalization between the two countries in 1979 leave Taiwan, the small and thriving Asian democracy that had been a staunch ally of the United States in the Cold War era. On this edition of the podcast we speak with Martin B. Gold. Mr. Gold is author of "A Legislative History of the Taiwan Relations Act: Bridging the Straight." His book examines the passage of the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, which defined U.S.-Taiwan relations after the United States diplomatic recognition of China. It analyzes how the legislation was shaped after extensive hearings, lengthy debates, and shared disagreement in Congress eventually achieved broad consensus. Gold is an an attorney in Washington and on the faculty of at the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University. He knows the subject well because he worked as a senior staffer for a decade when this all took place. First for Senator Mark Hatfield (R-OR) and then Senate Minority Leader Howard Baker (R-TN). Senator Orrin Harch of Utah says this of "A Legislative History of the Taiwan Relations Act:" “Gold reminds us of a time when policies were crafted and ideas were considered based on both particular interests and arguments in favor of the common good.” Interview by Jonathan Movroydis.
