An Important Movie on an Important Subject


Given today's political atmosphere and the battle going on between the White House and Congress, this movie (and book) is very instructive of a fact that a lot of Americans, and certainly the White House, if not the Congress as well have forgotten: our national governmental was set up to consist of three co-equal branches under the law (but with the Veep trying to set up his fourth branch beyond the law for a while there!). A very timely movie, but check mout the book, too.

It's also noteworthy for revealing parallels between women and homosexual men who equally risk being pushed to the sidelines of power within the institutions or marriage and government.
