Thank God for Patrick Leahy.! He just gave a long speech on why

[Auntie Bush]

HE WILL NOT VOTE FOR SAMUEL ALITO. He listed all of the reasons we here on DU are against. I hope other fence sitters listened and will vote likewise. We Vermonter's and Democrats are so lucky to have such a dedicated liberal Senator, He deserves our thanks.

1. Good for him! It is looking like a firestorm against Alito! K&R

By now we all understand that the entire corporate media has conspired to sell us yet another lie, this one about our power to stop a stealth candidate with a lifelong agenda as a record from completing a reactionary takeover of our Supreme Court. We CAN stop Alito. Oh, yes we can. All we have to do is keep speaking out to our senators. Yesterday, Senator Durbin made it very clear, a filibuster is NOT off the table. They are just waiting for us to show them that we the people are ready to back them up and all the representatives we need will stand up WITH us.

2. You Vermonters are so fortunate

in your legislators--Bernie Sanders, Leahy. Can you export some of this to the red-hued heartlands? SG

3. We need 50 more similar opinions to keep this right winger off the

court.

4. I saw it much earlier today. He did a nice job.

To a university audience, wasn't it?
