Senate Dems need to filibuster Roberts
This Manchurian candidate (thanks to Stephanie Miller et al
for title) will be worse for American people than any conservative Supreme Court Injustice we've seen to date. Digby states it concisely:

http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2005_09_11_digbysblog_archive.html#112665175269420266

"Roberts is obviously a very, very smart lawyer. He talked circles around everybody on the committee today. There is no doubt in my mind that he will craft beautifully reasoned, elegant decisions that will result in as much destruction of the last 75 years of social and economic progress as he can politically get away with."

(this vote will be the Senator's most important vote in their
careers and we will be taking names)

2. Bush can only fuck this country for 3 more years but Roberts
can fuck it up for the rest of his life.

Beware.

4. Roberts is a stealth catagory 5 disaster waiting for confirmation
40 year hurricane, not one day.

5. Roberts is a liar and he will say anything to get confirmed
Americans don't have a clue except those who
have read what Roberts wrote and worked as a
partisan hack on.

7. True or he'll say he might decide it.
What is the question when it comes to fundamental issues? Why can't he answer anything about anything?

6. Our side does need to filibuter.
If they try the nuclear option, we should welcome it and close down the Senate.
