Gore to deliver scathing speech Monday on 'constitutional crisis'


Former Vice President Al Gore will deliver a scathing speech Monday at Constitution Hall in Washington -- just blocks from the White House -- at which he will declare America is faced with a constitutional crisis, RAW STORY has learned.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day speech is set to take place at noon at the Daughters of the American Revolution's Constitution Hall. Gore will be introduced by onetime Georgia Republican congressman Bob Barr.

3. Spread the word!
I have emailed every single media outlet in Boston in regard to covering this speech. I think it is going to be one of the most important of this century. :patriot:

5. The Constitutional Crisis started in December 2000

with the anti-democratic, unconstitutional Supreme Court decision.

It's been all downhill since then.

7. 12/12/200 - the day that democracy was killed in the USA
By a 5/4 vote, the Supreme Court of the USA declared that the actual votes do not matter, and that the justifications they trumped up for their decision had no legal grounds that could not be used as precedent in future cases.

8. CNN will probably show 3 minutes or so of it.
Then Kyra Phillips will make some droll comment about him not giving up and cut to another 'important' story, like a fire in an abandoned warehouse in Poughkeepsie.

9. I Got My Ticket Earlier This Evening
I feel like a kid before Christmas waiting for Monday morning to come.

DC is about a 3 hour drive from here. I can be down town by 10:30 (when the doors to Constitution Hall open) and on the edge of my seat until the speech is scheduled to begin, at 12:00.

With luck and a quick dinner somewhere along the way I should be able to report back here by about 6:00 PM monday evening.

I wish I could be there. I hope I can find the speech online if it's not on TV.
I'll be waiting to hear your report, Thom. Thank you.
