Sammy, “The goose” Alito should be filibustered!

Ask any lawyer, would you rather take the bar exam or sit through a congressional confirmation for the Supreme Court? Hand downs, they all pick the hearing. If Sam Alito is confirmed then the Neo-Cons control all branches of government. The Republicans leadership has choreographed his nomination. On the right wing talk show circuit they all wanted to impress on their naïve audience how grueling it was to sit through hours of tough questions. That is not such a bad deal for a livelong civil servant position with feigns benefits. The questions asked by Republican Congress members were really hard ass. Mister Alito, let me tell how honored I am to be in the presence of a man like yourself. Would like a glass of water? How about a bathroom break? Now mister Alito, do you think Bud-lite is less filling or just taste great? Should a girl kiss on a first date? Are you legman or a tit man? Who do you think will win in the super bowl? Mist Alito, do you need a break? Did I ever say you have a lovely family? Yes, this brings dignity to the bench. This weren’t a softball questions. These were T-Ball questions. Meanwhile, Republicans were adding GOP propaganda set up question if they did asked a question of substance. Hey! I watch C-SPAN. Democrats were just as felicitous as the Repugs. Ted Kennedy asked an intelligent question and had a more probing inquiry. Right wing media took a 5 second clip of his 10-minute inquiry and made it look like a liberal interrogation. Yeah right! The only thing he didn’t have was a back rub!
The Democrats in Congress are on the cross roads of our Constitution Republic. If they agree to this mafia lawyer, then they sold our hides to Satan. They have the option to filibuster. I hope they use it. If they don’t….it’s back to the green party for me.

I know they will try to fill, me, buster, but I'm doing my best to hold my own at the hearings

(and blogging by handhold to boot!)

2. I'm hoping for a filibuster.

I'm praying for a filibuster. I don't think we can win it. I think Alito will sit on the Court. But the truth about this man needs to be put before the American people. This would be a PR victory in the long term. I just hope that the filibuster sticks to the policies and judgments that can be expected from Alito as a judge, and does not descend into the trivial, the petty, and the personal. If it does, then we lose on all counts.
