Filibuster
Friday, April 29th, 2005There is a good reason Dick Morris is regarded as a political genius, because he is. He proves it in The Hill.
Teaser:
A filibuster would attract wide notice. Bring the cots into the Democratic and Republican antechambers and stage quorum calls throughout the night, as in the old days of civil-rights legislation, and the nation will notice. The Democrats will leave America to wonder why they are spending all of their time debating a judgeship in Mississippi when they are not addressing the problems of healthcare, energy, gas prices, the economy, Social Security reform and the preservation and expansion of Medicare. The endless debate over so minor an item will make the country disgusted and will expose all to the true perils of unbridled partisanship in Washington.
UPDATE:
Forgot to hat-tip my Dad who sent me this article.
