Joy Cardin:  U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin says she supports reforming the filibuster, saying its recent abuse has led to political obstructionism in the upper house.

Guest: Richard Arenberg, adjunct lecturer in public policy at Brown University; he also teaches at Northeastern and Suffolk Universities. He's the author of "Defending the Filibuster: The Soul of the Senate" and served in the staffs of former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, Paul Tsongas and Carl Levin.
