3. I won't say it. It isn't going to be okay. It is going to be horrible,
Exactly how horrible depends on how deep we are willing to reach inside ourselves and

SCREAM

and then USE that rage to fight.

5. Good. Because it won't
They are going to put an extremist on the SC that will help to ensure your rights are voided and bush's are expanded.

The Dems didn't even manage to make a unified stand against this

6. You won't hear that here - very much
If anything, this major mistake by our "fellow" Dems in the Senate should cement our resolve to continue the fight against them and their friends on the other (dark) side.

14. It's hard not to get down on a day like today
If our party wasn't united against Alito, I wonder if we'll ever stand up. Roberts was bad enough, but it's clear that Alito is to his right - and even to Scalia's right. I admit that I'm not very happy today - it's natural. Still, I think the people are realizing that Bush and the other Repuke extremists are too right wing. I'm optimistic about '06, but a lot of it depends on us defining ourselves as an alternative. We still have good potential candidates that can do this.

18. Our government of checks and balances is gone
There's no way in hell that's okay. I'm with you. DLCers can save their spew for people who buy into that crap.

19. You are right, it won't be okay.
This is what now scares the living shit out of me.

Now that the supreme court is stacked, what keeps moron* from, as he likes to say,"I'm the president, I can do what ever I want", being appointed for another round of for fucking years for life? People will scream and yell, people will protest, people will do this and that, but in the end, we are screwed.

We live in a constitutional dictatorship.

What has happened today, now effects, not just us, but the next generation.

We are watching the seeds of newthink being planted. When you have a whole generation born live and die without out the rights guaranteed to them by the constitution, then it becomes the norm.

This is it folks, end game.

I predict things will start moving very fast from this point forward.

23. Oh I hear yah
But the only thing to do is get metaphysical. And look at history. From their own deeds and hubris will come their destruction. Truly. The endless power that this stacked court will give Bush and take away from us may be our only hope of getting the American people in the streets to take this country back. Just a thought. (not that it's worth the suffering of any that it will cause-I don't belittle that at all)

24. Things have been going to shit for years
and they will continue to do so until people wake up and realize that a small but powerful right wing group of people are hell bent on forcing everyone in the country live by their rules. Screw freedom, screw your rights, screw fairness - these people have proven time and time again that they will do ANTHING to force their views upon us all. And where is the opposition? Where is the media? Where are the Democrats? Well, I'm guessing you've figured out by now that they have abandoned and betrayed us. WE ARE ON OUR OWN. And things are bound to get much, much, MUCH worse before they get better - because your typical American is living in some fantasy world where everything is fine. Nothing to see here. WAKE UP AMERICANS - YOU ARE SCREWED! :( :( :(

25. I'm Frickin' Tired Of Looking On The Bright Side!!!
We LOSE EVERY SINGLE TIME! Not just on the big things, not just on the little things....not just on the court cases, the wars, the economy, etc. etc........BUT EVERYTHING!

This country is headed a certain way, and every single day that passes, I begin to realize I don't think I belong here much longer. I feel confined and trapped due to not having financial means to retire somewhere overseas....because if I did I might consider it. Someday.....but will I make it to that someday by continuing to live here. That's the real question.
