Rush Holt, civil libertarian

by: Jay Lassiter

Fri Oct 05, 2007 at 04:46:50 PM EDT



Chatting with Congressman Rush Holt the other day left me with the impression that the House leadership (and committee chiefs) are being a bit squishy with our civil liberties.  Cases in point:  FISA and this week's ENDA debate.

Thank you Jay and Rep. Holt.

He tells it like it is and fights for what is right (0.00 / 0)
I cannot find enough superlatives to describe Rush Holt. He recognized right away the weak strategy of the watered down ENDA and is currently out there working with Tammy Baldwin and  LGBT Unity groups helping educate others in Congress.

As far as FISA, explains it most articulately. We can possibly become our own worst enemy!

Thanks for the interview! (0.00 / 0)
Very good interview.  The content is top notch.

However, I'd like to make a purely aesthetic suggestion.  Jay, either go behind the camera or face your interviewees .  Both of you are facing towards the camera, but having a conversation with each other.  And your constant glancing towards the camera is a bit distracting.  Really, no offense intended, just a suggestion.
