Dems should have said "this far and no further" a long time ago
but since they have not they should be saying it NOW regarding Alito.
Many of us here are saying it but I want, I NEED to hear those in
government that "represent" me say it.

To any and all senators and congress people that might read D.U. from
time to time: Please stop this nomination. Please put the good of the
country FIRST.

1. The question that must be asked is this:
The good of THEIR Country or of OUR Country?

3. How about...
...THE country? There IS THEIR country, OUR country--and THE country. Each side--THEIRS and OURS--may be perceived by it's adherents as THE country--but that may not necessarily be true. (And that is without making a value judgement; it is neither bad nor good for people to think that the way they see things IS the way things ARE-as long as they acknowledge that may NOT be reality.)

2. Hmmm
Prince Geoffrey: My you chivalric fool... as if the way one fell down mattered.
Prince Richard: When the fall is all there is, it matters.
