SENATOR REID TO ADDRESS THE NATION ON EVE OF HISTORIC VOTE

Reid to Discuss Importance of Checks and Balances


WASHINGTON, DC -- On the eve of the historic vote in the United States Senate, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid will address the nation about the importance of the critical check in our democracy's system of checks and balances – a Senator's right to filibuster.

The majority of Americans agree that our Constitutional checks and balances must be preserved, and the independence of our judiciary must be protected. Senators Democrats have worked hard to reach out to their Republican colleagues and to look for compromise to protect the Senate from this abuse of power. With a little more than 24 hours until the historic vote, Senator Reid will discuss the real consequences of this historic vote to the strength of this country and to the daily lives of all Americans. The Alliance for Justice is sponsoring this important address to the nation.

1. I watched his address

to the George Washington Law school graduates. I have loads of respect for Harry Reid. He actually speaks for the average Tom, Dick, Harry and their sisters.
Will watch tonight.

3. It's sad that we have to buy 90 seconds

How the hell is he going to make the case in 90 seconds? What's even sadder is that if there were an actual 15, 30 or 60 minute address, nobody would broadcast it besides C-SPAN and most of the sheeple would flip the channel to Monday Night RAW even if the networks did.

Can't our publicly owned airwaves spare an hour to discuss one of the biggest political power grabs in the history of the Republic? Let Harry speak and give the Cat Killer his equal time.
