The Rant | Power to the people
Video Essay by Chris Graham
freepress2@ntelos.net
It’s Democrats now being all righteously indignant over the threat of filibuster that Joe Lieberman is using to get his way on health-care reform.
Republicans were pretty indignant a couple of years back when it was Democrats using the threat of filibuster to try to influence judicial appointments.
At what point can we, the people, work ourselves into this indignance game? Who’s got our backs on all this?
Chris Graham asks those questions in today’s Rant.

Joe Lieberman and that Stupak guy, tyranny of the small-minded. You hit it right on.
But people retaking power – that’s a big order. We have all grown up with the idea that we have a functioning democracy.
Thanks for remembering the judicial filibusters. I gather at least a few Democratic senators do.
