Sorry for the duplication.

1. I was listening

to Senator Dianne Feinstein (D - CA)when it occurred to me that this whole debate is a waste of time. The Re-pukes are all in an echo chamber, repeating the same crap over and over, refusing to recognize ANY rational argument against this nomination. They are all voting in lock step anyway, so why bother, lets just FILIBUSTER and shut it down if needed and see what they think they can do about it. If ever there was a time when the Dem's have to STOP being the nice guys and start acting as one with a plan, it's now.:grr:

3. I've been faxing the NYT article

to all the suspected "Alito 8" and to all Dems in conservative states...

the "Senators in Need of a Spine" editorial...

2. I hate to watch when they're blah blah blahing away

When are the Dems back up?

4. Lieberman hasn't voted. I sent him a major email today

re: Alito confirmation

Dear Sen. Lieberman:

Now that you have seen the obfuscation and evasion of the Bush Admin. concerning your Katrina documents request, now that you've seen the criminal element in this Rethuglican Congress and executive branch, isn't it obvious to you this administration MUST BE STOPPED? The immediate way to do this is to FILIBUSTER the Alito nomination. YOU SENATORS WOULD HAVE PLENTY TO TALK ABOUT DURING A FILIBUSTER: The NSA/BushCo. illegal spying on Americans, the revolving door and criminal activities of Rethug officials and fundraisers (as in the Abramoff and other scandals), the "unitary executive" theory that might come before the Supreme Court in a case, the lies re: going to war in Iraq, the outsourcing of the military, the lack of accountability in military contracts to KBR/Halliburton, the plight of the poor and middle class, the tax cuts for the rich, environmental degradation accelerated by BushCo and his corporate robber barons. In short, you senators could FILIBUSTER for days, weeks and months and speak about the SELLLING OF AMERICA. There's a lot to talk about to the American people.

If you do not FILIBUSTER, I won't vote for you again and will actively support a Democratic alternative for your seat.

Sincerely,

Constituent

5. Oh no, another repuke

I can hear Charlie Brown's teacher again.

I've been doing a web search, trying to find a schedule that would tell me when the Democrats will be back up. So far I've found nothing.
