Today several so called Democrats announced their support for the Republican, Right-Wing, Corporately sponsered, Fundamentalist approved Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito Jr. There by blocking any chance there is for a filibuster and saving of our Constitution.
Overreacting you say? We'll have to wait and see but I have the uneasy feeling that all of our civil rights will be re-examined and the Supreme Court will be ruling on the validity of those rights in the near future.
Let me list the names of the Democratic Senators who have traded our rights for politcal favors to be named later. They are
Robert Byrd of West Virginia,
Tim Johnson of South Dakota,
Ben Nelson of Nebraska, and Sen.
Kent Conrad of North Dakota.
Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado and
Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana -- have said they would oppose any filibuster attempt.
StoryThis will give the required amount of votes to block any filibuster attempts by Senate Democrats. Where are the backbones of these people? Do they not understand the Constitution and our entire Democracy is at stake with this nominee?
This nominee has stated that he believes in a Unitary Executive, which would give the President unlimited power to do, basically, whatever he damn well pleases. Spy on citizens, break long established laws, and ignore any law that doesn't suit his particular purpose.
How could this happen? Please
contact your local Senators and express your outrage at thier turning their back on 230 years of Democracy. If you don't call how will they know how you feel?
