Episode 26: The Second Civil War (1997)

Oh no! Gordon and Eliza have found themselves in the middle of the next major American conflict! As the President forces US States to take in planefuls of orphans, refugees, and immigrants, only the governor of Idaho is brave enough to stand up against the policies and forbids more immigrants from entering their state, while the President INSISTS they take them. The world watches on in awe, wondering if this really will be the start of The Second Civil War.

Clearly, this is a 1997 idea of what the future had in store, with a stacked 1997 cast, including Phil Hartman as the oafish President, James Coburn as the man in his ear, Beau Bridges as the Governor of Idaho, Elizabeth Pena as a field reporter who is having an affair with the governor, Dan Hedaya as the head of the Newsroom, James Earl Jones as a senior reporter who also serves as a narrator, and too many more names to list!

Anyway, gotta finish uploading this episode! I need to see Susan Lucci's final episode of All My Children, where she runs off with Tony!
