Ep40 : Wendy Davis, Ron Paul, and Familiar GOP Rules
b"This week Jad and Kevin spend another episode talking about the now famous Wendy Davis filibuster against the Texas Republicans. Our focus is less on the actual abortion bill that she was attempting to block and more so on the reality of how the American political system works.\\n\\nContrary to what we're taught in school, the joke of Americans having any real power in the legislative process couldn't be illustrated any better than examining how political rules work. Or more to the point, how they don't.\\n\\nIn other words, any time the rules aren't adhering to the favored outcome, they're simply changed or discarded altogether. Ron Paul's fans learned it, and now Wendy's have too."
