"It could come as soon as tomorrow or Tuesday. Vice President Cheney could end the filibuster in a devious way. A vote will be called to confirm William Myers for the U.S. Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit. Cheney might declare a filibuster unconstitutional. To read about the possible scenario go to:

"If Cheney and his friends on the theocratic right in the U.S. Senate succeed, then Democrats and moderate Republicans will have lost the only leverage left in the U.S. Senate. The Supreme Court is at stake.

"Cheney will have pulled off a coup, and very few people will have known it happened! We must not let Cheney take away the filibuster. If he gets away with it, we need to get a million people to the streets of DC quickly and spontaneously! We should shut down the city until the Senate re-instates the filibuster.

"People may not understand what happened with Cheney and the filibuster, but millions of people understand something is deeply wrong in Washington. If the word gets out through grass roots organizations, blogs, the press, etc. I predict a million people will show up.

"This action must have two components: it must be non-violent, and it must have a specific goal - to reinstate the filibuster - with an understanding that we will go home when our goal is reached.

"But then, maybe the theocratic right will not succeed with their so-called nuclear option and we can all stay home and work on our spring gardens."
