I missed this speech on Jan 16th and only heard about it from my mom tonight. Thank goodness for C-Span.org for making important pieces like this available. Fmr. VP Gore is a constitutional scholar, and his speeches always require the listener to *pay attention*, so be warned. After 6 years of GW, hearing an intelligently argued political viewpoint may require more effort than many are willing to extend, but I assure you - this one is worth it. His impressive knowledge of American political history always sheds a new light on contemporary events. He argues his cases eloquently and through the expertly quoted words of great American patriots. And it may scare the crap out of you to boot.
