Luckily, the good folks at the ACLU have your back. They’ve just posted the concluding installment of “Congress-ese,” a series of blog entries aimed at teaching you stuff about Congress you didn’t learn in social studies class.

Find the answers to questions like:

• Why is the House Committee on Rules so important?
• What’s the significance of “unanimous consent“?
• How do filibusters and cloture work?

And much more. A valuable learning resource. Well done, ACLUers!
