After an update on the latest news, I speak with journalist and author Sarah Posner about yesterday's hearing at the Supreme Court, Masterpiece Cakeshop vs Colorado Civil Rights Commission, and the Alliance Defending Freedom- the Christian legal group representing the baker.

It's Thursday, so Howie Klein joins in from Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC to talk about what happened in Oklahoma Tuesday when a progressive ran for the state senate, and how congressional Democrats keep making the same mistakes.

In his masterpiece, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,"  Gil Scott-Heron offers an unbridled indictment of the failure of the corporate media, which has only gotten exponentially worse in the four decades since we first heard it. An updated version would certainly include some reference to today's predicament. Senator Al Franken calls the fight for Net Neutrality "the free speech issue of our time" .

What other beautiful changes can we hope for as the Obama administration attempts to get voters excited before November 2?  How about making a list? Get Rahm the hell out of there too! The PCCC started a campaign to get Chicago voters to pledge never to vote for him... but I say "shhh."  Let him think they'll vote for him, and then don't! In the wake of yesterday's blockade in the Senate of opening debate on DADT (by way of the Defense Appropriations bill), [...]
