Greg Stanton, senior legal advisor, has examined President Trump's efforts to eliminate long debates in the Senate and analyzed the risks of this action. According to him, these efforts not only harm democratic traditions but could also lead to permanent instability in the political system of the United States.
Risks of Eliminating Long Debates
Stanton emphasizes that the Senate, as an important institution in the political system of the United States, has always acted as a check and balance on executive power. Eliminating long debates, which allow senators to discuss and exchange views on important issues, could reduce this role. This change could increase the power of the majority in the Senate and lead to the passage of laws without serious discussions, which may benefit specific groups and endanger minority rights.

Political and Social Consequences
Stanton also notes that eliminating long debates could exacerbate party and social tensions. Currently, the political system of the United States is highly polarized, and this action could lead to greater distrust among parties and the public. In a situation where political disagreements have intensified, this change could create further instability, and its consequences could be passed down to future generations.
Political analysts have also warned against this action, believing that this change could lead to a dangerous trend in American politics. If the Senate cannot act as an independent and balanced institution, control of power may fall into the hands of specific groups that could exploit this situation for their benefit.
Ultimately, Stanton believes that democratic traditions must be protected and any efforts to change them should be done carefully and with attention to their consequences. He emphasizes that maintaining long debates in the Senate is essential to facilitate discussion and exchange of views on major national issues, thereby preserving the public interest.
