Tim Johnson to Support Alito
Ben Nelson now has company. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) will also support the Alito nomination:

Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito picked up his second Democratic supporter on Thursday, with Tim Johnson of South Dakota announcing he will vote for the conservative judge to become the nation's 110th justice.

Johnson joins fellow Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska as the only members of their party to announce Senate support for the conservative judge.

I just love this line:

"I am troubled by Judge Alito's apparent views on matters such as executive power, his past opposition to the principle of one person, one vote, and his narrow interpretation of certain civil rights laws," Johnson said. "Even so, I cannot accept an argument that his views are so radical that the Senate is justified in denying his confirmation."

[Caution]

1. Dammit

Vote your conscience you SOB. That's what you were elected for.

[no_more_rhyming]

10. As long as it's

the same conscience he got elected on.

[kurth]

2. The ghost of Daschle

is haunting him. But look at Daschle - he gave Bush everything he wanted, and got stabbed.

[Freddie Stubbs]

6. And Johnson was reelected 2002

Perhaps it's easier to do if you are not serving as Minority Leader.

[stop the bleeding]

3. what is wrong with middle America - these DEM Senators are too

worried about getting the red vote - they will be destroyed by the Republicans anyway and they do not even know it.

[grrl62]

4. arghhhh

:puke:

[Shortyfuse]

5. Must be threatened

I called Nelsons office and told them I thought he must have taken a bribe and was being threatened. I guess I will call Johnson also. And Landieu and......

[Freddie Stubbs]

15. I'm sure that accusing them of taking a bribe will change their minds

on edit: Corrected MT Baucus(D) FAX number

Leahy number does not answer. and he lists no FAX number on his site.

Just say no to division and appeasement; Say no to the DLC PAC. Just keep asking: What did the President know, and when did he know it? Karl Rove is a Traitor
