Click here to hear a discussion by filibuster experts Joan McCarter and David Waldman on the issue. Listen from 10:30 to hear the discussion of Darcy’s role. Here’s an excerpt:
To me Darcy Burner was instrumental in moving us from, “Hey, we really out to be doing this” chat in emails to “Let me introduce you to the people can make it happen.” And from there we took off running, and we all did this work together.
