It was another news week from hell on today’s KFPK/Pacifica Radio BradCast.
We covered today’s Supreme Court rulings on Prop 8 and DOMA with Evan Wolfson, one of the architects of the national marriage equality strategy, from FreedomtoMarry.org.
I had a word or three to say about the Court gutting the Voting Rights Act this week.
I also offered a thought or two on NBC’s David Gregory suggesting that journalist Glenn Greenwald “aided and abetted” NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, and on the jackassery of national embarrassment Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and the collapse of his pretend IRS “scandal”. Desi Doyen joined me for the latest Green News Report update on President Obama’s landmark climate speech this week.
And somehow we managed to fit in a few phone calls and a thought or two on Wendy Davis’ stand in TX late last night and the state Republicans attempt to fraudulently pass a radical anti-abortion bill anyway. We got all of that into an incredibly fast moving single show, which follows for you below. Enjoy!

I agree about the Voting Rights Act. We need this act because of republicans who have suppressed the vote and will use every dirty trick to cheat.
