Posted: 1/30/06 at 7:16pmywiw, i'm not a howie fan either...well, maybe sorta. but with regard to the money he's spent, i totally agree with drum's analysis. infrastructure has to be rebuilt from time to time. i think he's looking towards long term and a lot of people are thinking short term. now, the fact that i think he drives moderates away every time he opens his mouth is neither here nor there. the kind of spending he's doing now is the same kinds ot things the gop has been doing since his highness, lord karl the white, got some taste of power. as a mouthpiece i think he helps us more, but on these practical matters, he'll do your party real long term good.

I did my part:)
Dear Senator Bayh,
As a citizen of the United States of America I urge you to vote for filibuster on Judge Samuel Alito, Jr. His conservative views and narrow-mindedness will send this country spiriling downward. Many Americans have fought for and died for the rights he will take away! It is your duty to protect the rights we have and keep this country a place where freedom is a word we charish. Your vote against a filibuster and a vote for Judge Alito will be the altimate smack in the face to every citizen in this country. I beg you to do the right thing and vote for filibuster!
Respectfully,
**********
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

CNN might have a tally.
I hope that there are a few Repubs that vote against this nominee tomorrow. The four Great Plains losers can run as Repubs next time.
I was in a Red State today and I feel dirty now!

no, it's a link that takes you to the official brdlwyr exposed briefs site.
it's the official (internet version) senate record showing the roll call vote on cloture. it shows the senators, their votes, their home states and if you ask it nice enough, their favorite ice cream.

All I am hoping now is that he is not as bad as I fear, and that some of his more offensive statements have been made in pursuit of a job, rather than reflecting his actual views.

PJ - in 1990 I entered law school, I was young and naive. These were the Justices:
1988–1990: Wm. J. Brennan | B. White | T. Marshall | H. Blackmun | J.P. Stevens | S.D. O'Connor | A. Scalia | A. Kennedy
Other than Scalia, it was a great Court.
Tomorrow is a dark day and the headline will be about Iraq.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 9:46pmIt's really bad news. Alito will be for crowning Bush king and is for giving the Executive branch more than the Constitution calls for. But then again,the Constitution means nothing to these people.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 10:05pmWexy, and why? Scalia believes in state's rights and a free market until it addresses an issue that he feels is "morally" repugnant.
