It's a real filibuster too, not one of those namby-pamby efforts that pass for filibusters these days. Good for Bernie...you can always count on a socialist to do the heavy lifting.

I recall that many at SA adamantly opposed a free press when it came to reporters during the Iraq war. I can't remember what Rob's position was but I agree with his position here as I agreed with that position then.

If the Founders intended that the States have the power to nullify Federal laws then why wasn't that power included in the Constitution? It seems to me that your vision of American government is reflected more in the Articles of Confederation than in the Constitution as subsequently adopted...am I wrong on this?

FWIW, I also think it would be easier to repeal the 17th than to enact a new Amendment.

I figured that was a slip. I'm not sure what you mean by "propaganda" and "manufactured crisis". The tax cuts were designed to expire and while Obama has consistently promoted a tax cut for the middle and working classes, I have little doubt that his intention was always to let the cut for the highest earners expire. The Democrats should have dealt with this earlier but they obviously have difficulty passing legislation in the face of a cohesive and determined Republican opposition.

If the Democrats had half a clue about governing, they would have been working on a big tax cut plan for the last few months. That way they could let the Bush era cuts expire and bring in their own legislation in early 2011 thus earning their own credit. They really are incompetent when it comes to parliamentary strategy.
