<\/embed>CNN’s Jack Cafferty calls Dennis Kucinich a “feisty little dude” for taking MSNBC to court for excluding him from the Democratic debate tonight in Las Vegas. A judge agreed that it would be unfair to exclude Kucinich and ordered MSNBC to allow the Congressman to debate. MSNBC has appealed that ruling and the hearing is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The viewer E-mail in the second half of the Cafferty File is interesting as well. One viewer suggests that war profits by MSNBC parent company GE were driving the effort to exclude Kucinich from the debate. And the final viewer email by Tony poignantly answers Cafferty’s questions about whether the courts should intervene in such cases:<\/p>\n

Why not? There is precedent. Remember December, 2000 when the courts effectively selected who should be the President of The United States.<\/div>\n

To which Cafferty responds, “Yes they did”.<\/p>\n
