Would be nice if instead of voting to close debate, that the Senate would have to vote to continue debate.

I'd like it if the failure of a cloture vote simply added 30 hours to the amount of debate time, and once only. The senators in the minority would have to use that time to convince others to change their minds. If they can't, then that's too bad--the previous question happens.

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
Sad to hear how corrupt our judicial system is becoming. That a law can be struck down because a judge doesn't deem the reasons it was created to line up with his personal political ideology is so repulsive you can't help but understand that our country is no longer working along the principals it was founded on.
These 9th Circuit Court Judges deserve nothing less then impeachment and disbarment.
