I could be wrong, but I believe this is probably the first time "Star Trek" (as opposed to "Star Wars") has been referenced on the floor of the American House of Representatives.
It's a sort of milestone I suppose.
(Update 2007/01/25: My mistake; it wasn't the Senate; now corrected.)
They showed this clip on The Daily Show this eve. I think it took so long to show because, if my ears don’t deceive me (and they might), they had phone-ins from Leonard Nimoy and George Takei.
In the midst of all this, though, I think yon Senator should have realized that the war was being run by Romulans, dammit. Related to Vulcans, hot-blooded, fancy technology, ignores the neutral zone…
