WHY FILIBUSTER ALITO? (Or "What Would Jimmy Stewart Do?")

[wakemewhenitsover]

I think my brain will turn to custard
If I watch one more day of this charade
Mr. Alito lies, Mrs. Alito cries
Either way, our democracy dies...

"I don't really think that Bork's a god
I said it just to get the job,"
"And I joined an uncivil alumni group
'Cause I didn't wanna be a party poop."

"I thought CAP was short for Phi Beta Kappa."
"Strip-searching is a way to build character."
"Um, doesn't a woman's right to choose,
Mean Manolo Blahnik or Ferragamo shoes?"
"Unitary power? No, no, no.
But once I'm a justice - Go man, go!"

Let's go 'round and 'round and 'round
You can't vote me down
If you can't pin me down...

Alito's lying, Bush is spying
Either way, our democracy's dying
With Kennedy's blarney and Biden's bluster
Isn't there some strength you can muster?
It's what the last stand was to Custer
(Jimmy Stewart would do it
He wouldn't get flustered)
Please guys, stand up and filibuster!

5. if he was, i rather doubt hewould be today

i can see him as an eisenhower/rockefeller kind of republican, you know, back when you could disagree but respect the other side.

6. He's so opportunistic!! But what are the odds they'll filibuster?

I think the problem with Democrats is, we're fair and honest, and project these qualities onto other people....

7. What are the odds that I will stay a Democrat if they don't?
