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 Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
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.
