Californians: Contact Your Senator about the Judicial Nominations Filibuster

Written by Andrew Selby | Apr 22, 2005 10:28:00 AM

Just take a second and drop an email to Senators Boxer and Feinstein. Let them know that the filibuster is undemocratic because the minority are tyrannizing over the majority - the same majoritarian rule that lies at the heart of American government. Watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington to see how a filibuster used to be done and ought to be done. I'd like to see our California senators taking turns doing the same thing - then I would be silent!
