Description: "In Esteemed Colleagues: Civility and Deliberation in the U.S. Senate, leading congressional scholars address the extent to which civility has declined in the Senate and how that decline has affected the national political system. Contributors analyze the relationships between senators, shaped by increased levels of both individualism and partisanship.

They also examine how these trends have driven the deliberation of issues before the chamber, including their impact on the Clinton impeachment process."--BOOK JACKET.
