Reason Enough To Oppose Alito

Maybe the Democrats should consider fighting this nomination and not rolling over so easily:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Christian conservative leader Rev. Jerry Falwell said on Sunday that confirming Federal Appeals Court judge Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court would be the biggest victory for his constituency in three decades."

Church, State, Separation - who cares. I love living in a Theocracy that pretends to be a Democracy.
Christian conservatives rally for Judge Alito

Watching the news today and reading some of the press leading up to the hearings, I don't think Alito is going to be given the same free pass Rogers was. His own writings, including those that advocate against a federal right to privacy (upon which Roe was based) and supporting the expansive powers advocated for the Executive Branch should make things interesting. The fact that the far right is now crowing about the nomination can only further hurt his cause.

Most people do not realize that the Bill of Rights does not
explicitly include a right to privacy, or the right "to be left alone." The more people are educated, the more they will think twice about permitting somoene like Alito on the court, especially with the Bush Administration's current practices.

Bush is weakened, the Republicans have been compromised by their own corruption, it is time for the Democratic party to stand up and say enough. Make him answer and account for his own opinions and writings. If need be, filibuster. Get some balls Dems. Now is the time.

Well, that too . . .

And, I hear he hates cats and eats earplugs . . .

Stoli must be confused . . . the Radical Right speaks to him.

Let me check. You're right. He eats cats and hates earplugs.

The fact that he stated that he would never allow his personal feelings to influence his decisions on the court pretty much tells you what those personal feelings are. Can you risk another life time appointment like that? I think not.

And as for earplug eating cats - OBVIOUSLY we humans have been using these devices incorrectly all these years. They were, and remain, feline chew toys. Now get over it.
