Any chance we can get air time for the Progressive Caucus or the CBC to do the same?
No reason only those to Obama's right should get their say, after all.

And podcasts. And Free Speech TV. Plus, C-Span would pretty much have to cover it.

| 2. Since the opposition response isn't Constitutionally mandated like the SOTU ... |
|

| 5. The SOTU is not required to be delivered in the chamber |
|
nor is it required to be delivered for the entire country to hear...why is IT covered at all? It is nothing but political theater.

| 6. Until 1912, it wasn't delivered as a speech at all. |
|
Before then, whoever was president just wrote it up and SENT it to Congress.
Woodrow Wilson was the one who decided to actually make it into a big event, for some reason.
