    May 23, 2013, Sarah A. Binder

  • Today, committees have lost much of their autonomy to party leaders. As a result, investigations are often used in periods of divided government as a partisan tool to club the administration and its supporters. More often than not, committee investigations become arenas for majority party “message politics” — contests designed to score political points rather than to identify problems or to generate solutions that can garner bipartisan support. The higher the partisanship in Congress, the lower its committees seem to fall.

    February 26, 2013, Sarah A. Binder

  • There's a defense wing of defense hawks, and they've been pretty vocal about the impact on the Defense Department and national security, generally. And we know there's a hard-core group as well that's opposed to any and all revenue increases. And between the two of those, there's no agreed-upon path of what to do, and so it looks like they may prefer the sequester to any alternative — certainly the alternatives the Democrats are offering up.

    January 17, 2013, Sarah A. Binder

  • [Filibustering of a presidential nominee is] just sort of emblematic of senators pushing their powers here into an area where we traditionally said that senators are willing to defer to the president.

    November 29, 2012, Sarah A. Binder

  • I suspect that in a war of wills between the parties [in Congress], an intense minority might prevail. After all, the majority typically has a full agenda on its plate and is just as likely to want to move on to other issues [giving in to the filibuster] as it is to battle it out with the minority.

  • The Lame Duck Congress — A Live Web Chat with Sarah Binder

    November 14, 2012

  • The picture in the House [of Representatives] is more of the same, which is Republicans pushing things to the right and Democrats to the left. Most of the damage has already been done to the center.

    November 7, 2012, Sarah A. Binder, Washington Times
