In the long view....Alito is small change, relatively speaking.

We have better fish to fry. I'm not saying don't oppose him which I do and have made phone calls asking to do so, just don't get your panties all in a twist. Get a grip. The long term strategies are what is most important. Remember that.

Touch wood. And house cleaning time is coming up. :evilgrin:

And, I'm adding this. Have at.

http://www.cnn.com/ Why do you think John Kerry wants to filibuster Samuel Alito?

1. In the long view...

... as you describe it, Alito will be on the court for thirty years.

That's why it's not small change, as you assert.

Cheers.

2. Nine is not an inscribed number in the Constitution.

4. The last attempt to pack the court...

... was in 1936. It failed.

3. I'm focused on the 2006 election

We must regain control of at least one house of Congress.

Even if an Alito filibuster works, don't you think King George II will be able to find another lapdog who will support his imperial rule? We pretty much lost this battle when Dubya was re-installed as president in January 2005.

6. I agree. He will not stop. Nor will his people.

These guys admit no fault, feel they do no wrong, have no conscience. Their eyes are on their long term goals which include total world domination, American hegemony.

5. about that housecleaning

it may take some judicial elbow grease,

or it may not get done

7. Ah huh. Which is why I vehemently oppose Alito.

I just decided to untwist my panties and stay focused on the long range goals.

I have to get some sleep. Tomorrow is another day. :) Alito is just a show horse.
