| If you aren't going to filibuster, at LEAST vote against him. |
|
Please!
I don't want to hear any crowing from any RW talking head or assboil chickenhawk, "Well, *so-and-so* voted for him, there are divisions in the Democratic party" etc. etc.
Put up a unified front one way or another.

| 8. not voting defaults to voting "no"on cloture |
|
they need 60 votes - it doesn't make a difference if it's 59 yes, 40 no, 1 not voting or 59/41.

| 2. You're funny. Do you really expect democratic representation from |
|
the dems we have in Washington? And have them represent us rather than cover than their own asses with corporate and fundy America?
Where have you been?

It wouldn't be that way if they would follow the examples of Edward Kennedy.

| 5. A no vote isn't good enough this time |
|
Nothing short of filibustering this nazi is acceptable.

| 4. Since Alito may be the one who enables Roe v. Wade |
|
to be overturned, the least they can do is say that they voted against him. If they vote for him they are assisting the Supreme Court in taking away the rights of American women to choose for themselves on such an important issue.

| 6. It is the only thing they can do ... |
|
Even if the filibuster were to somehow derail him, this president still has three more years, and at least another year of an R controlled senate ... They can dig up 100 other presentable nazis to ram through ...
Time for them to get all the troops together, let them know there will be no filibuster, but that the ENTIRE group has to vote no ... Statement made ...
The PEOPLE of this country, unfortunately, have to suffer the consequences of their actions in allowing themselves to be scammed into voting for BUSHCO and a majority in Congress ...
Fact of life ...
