18. Dear Senator Byrd.
I watched you on C-Span and I saw the lapel pin that you are wearing. (I found a website where I can get one for myself). I know that you carry a copy of the Constitution with you all the time and that you understand, possibly better than anyone else there, the prerogatives of the Senate.

The right to filibuster is not of much use if there is no will to use it. What better time than now? With habeas corpus under attack, and our 4th amendment rights beseiged, how could there be a better, more opportune time to assert the rights of the minority for the protection of the least powerful?

Dear Senator Byrd, your state is small, but your stake is large indeed. I implore you to support a filibuster of this most UNworthy candidate, and keep the possibility for a humane Supreme Court alive.

Sincerely,
