9:07Now PlayingOn Tuesday, Senate Republicans used the filibuster to block legislation for the third time during the 17th Congress.
By Wednesday, many were fed up, including Rev. Jesse Jackson and Bishop William Barber, who were both arrested as they protested the filibuster outside the U.S. Capitol. Republicans used the filibuster to stop debate on voting rights, and Democrats have reached a point of desperation in attempts to advance their progressive agenda. Former Iowa Senator Tom Harkin joins "Prime with Charles Blow" to discuss a path to change the filibuster.
