The New York Times reports that Al Gore will speak out against the GOP’s “nuclear option”, a proposed Senate rule change which would prevent filibusters against radical right wing judicial nominees, on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 in Washington, D.C. Gore's address, which is sponsored by MoveOnPAC, will come on what could be the eve of Republican Senate Leader Bill Frist's move to change the Senate rules, and it will be the keynote of MoveOn’s national day of action, which includes 120 rallies in all 50 states.

According to an email sent to MoveOn.org members in the Washington area, Gore’s speech is called “Breaking the Rules to Destroy Our Courts”. In the speech, Gore will reportedly say “This is a poison pill for American democracy. It is aimed at one-party dominance of all three branches of government, and the end of meaningful debate in the U.S. Senate.

This may sound like a technical issue. But it is actually a historic threat to the health and vitality of American democracy.

This is an effort to replace persuasion on the merits with bullying by partisan domination.”

The speech will be presented at 12 noon, ET and the location will be announced on Monday, April 25th.

(Editor's note: Gore's MoveOnPAC speech is open to MoveOn members in the Washington area only.)

2. Called CSPAN and others

Today I called CSPAN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and of course Hannity at FOX and asked them to cover it. Okay, I didn't talk directly to Hannity but I did remind the person I was talking to that Hannity personally endorsed Gore on his show back in December and I was looking forward to his & Colmes's fair & balanced reporting on the matter.

CSPAN's person told me that they probably wouldn't carry it live because they are supposed to be covering whatever congress is doing. However, he said it looked like they would show it on tape later in the day. He said the decision would be made this afternoon.

The number for CSPAN is: [phone]
