DU Poll: Filibuster Alito?

[many a good man]

Who says internet polls are unscientific?! DU is a diverse subset of America so let's take our own pulse!

1. Hear Scalito out and then filibuster. He's given us enough cause.

He's a Bork. A really poor one, too. Bork had a backbone. Not this twit.

4. I agree.

I think Bork had intellectual honesty. ScAlto has principles of convenience.

2. I say wait until the hearings end

and use the transcripts of the hearings (questions asked and answers avoided) to filibuster (read and re-read the questions and non-answers on the floor of the Senate).

3. Here's my suggestion:

Dems should insist that NSA abuses be resolved before the Alito vote. It's clear this is an Imperial Presidency judge and he should not be able to cast the deciding vote on separation of powers.

Absolute rock-bottom minimum.

5. Bush is not now and never has been the President and no one

he appoints should be confirmed for any position. When BushCo is gone the Dems will have to pack the court (like FDR wanted to) in order to dilute the Repuke influence.
