Book Synopsis
In this lively analysis, Daniel Wirls examines the US Senate in relation to other American institutions of government and the constitutional system as a whole, exposing the role of the ‘world’s greatest deliberative body’ in undermining effective government and maintaining white supremacy in America.

Trade Review
Thought-provoking and well-researched, this chronicle of the Senate’s shortcomings is a stark assessment of the chamber as a bastion of support for white supremacy. Wirls tells an effective story of how an institution that has been highly touted, particularly by those occupying it, is really an impediment to effective democracy, and he makes a cogent case for reform." - David J. Siemers, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, author of The Myth of Coequal Branches: Restoring the Constitution’s Separation of Functions
