I sure hope that TCM runs "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" in the next few days. Nothing can better show the power of the filibuster to fight for a just but unpopular stand. The filibuster hasn't always been used for good, but this time it will be.
Just what is this separation of powers that people keep going on about? Could it be that we need to have at least one branch of government not under the power of the Republic(ans)? Soon to be called The Empire. If the Senate falls to these power mad hypocrites, then the judiciary is certainly next. It seems that the Emperor wants to control all he sees.
Interesting how Hollywood can tell us so much about ourselves. If only someone were paying attention.
