Why not filibuster Alito?
-->
If there ever was a judge whose nomination you'd want to filibuster, it's got to be Samuel Alito:
- His Taliban-like views on marriage and abortion should be anathema to any right-thinking Democrat, liberal and/or progressive (or Republican, for that matter).
- If the Dems are so afraid of the filibuster, it's like not having it anyway. So if the Republicans kill the filibuster, what have the Democrats really lost?
- Besides, the way things are going, it might not be long before the Democrats control Congress and the White House anyway. Then the shoe's on the other foot.
Just make sure everyone in America knows what a Neanderthal (and activist!) judge he really is.

Yep, I think I'm coming around, I've seen Harry Ried hold up the little vile containing the white powder representing the nuclear option and I've reached the tipping point.
It's ON! We got nothing to lose and this weakened administration is ripe for destruction.
Much like invading Iraq, we'll do it not only because it's necessarily the right thing to do, but because we can.
