Kennedy Backs Kerry in Filibuster of Alito: Official Release
Kennedy Backs Kerry in Filibuster of Alito
January 26th, 2006

I’ve just received the official statement from Senator Kennedy’s office - Kennedy Supports Kerry on the Filibuster of Alito…

KENNEDY ON HIS DECISION TO SUPPORT A FILIBUSTER ON NOMINATION OF JUDGE ALITO

Other than voting to send our men and women to war, there is no more important vote in the Senate than our vote on a Supreme Court nominee. This is a vote of a generation and a test of conscience. Judge Alito does not share the values of equality and justice that make this country strong. He does not deserve a place on the highest court of the land.

We owe it to future generations of Americans to oppose this nomination. If Judge Alito is confirmed, he will serve on the court long after President Bush leaves office, and the progress of half a century on the basic rights of all Americans is likely to be rolled back. He’s the wrong justice for justice and the rule of law in America.

5. When will this take place,
and can we watch?


Is this all for show?

Can it backfire?

Can I please stop asking questions?
