Time for a Good Ol' Fashioned Filibuster
So our dumbass president--wait, not "our", I'm not taking ownership of him--YOUR dumbass president decided that loyal and unqualified wasn't the way to go this time, and chose to nominate a good, safe conservative wackjob for the Court. Samuel Alito, step forward and tell us how to plan to roll back civil rights and liberties.
Actually, so far, the most distressing things I've read about this assclown are that he voted to uphold a law requiring women in Pennsylvania to notify their husbands if they were going to have an abortion (not necessarily a horrible thing on the merits, but a harbinger of things to come), and that he was against allowing Congress to extend the assault weapons ban. Sure, there's some evidence he might be fair minded. But the fact that Phyllis Schlafly and other assorted right wing nutjobs say he's a-okay with them is enough to make me afraid. I mean, they said he was on "their list", meaning they'd already seen enough of him to feel confident he'll do his best to overturn Roe v. Wade.
So in other words, he's no good. Of course, we don't have a heck of a lot of recourse unless one or two of our good Democrats decide to filibuster him. I don't even know exactly how that needs to work, but I think it's a good chance for Kerry to redeem himself. Show the nutsack you should have had during the election. Convince McCain to cross the aisle and help save us.
Oh, and if I find out that the anti-"W" bumper sticker on my truck was intentionally removed by someone at the golf course yesterday, someone's getting cut!
