Earlier this month, during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey released uncleared committee documents. Brian Alexander writes that Booker's tactics, in combination with the 2016 House sit-in over gun violence show that procedural disobedience is an effective legislative tactic for the minority party that leads to few penalties. With that in mind, he argues that we should expect to see the tactic being deployed more often in Congress in the near future.
