Where’s the Outrage?

The question isn’t whether Alito has the brains to be on the Supreme Court. The question is whether he should be on the Supreme Court. With questions about presidential power, easesdropping, torture, and civil liberties at stake it is time for the Democratics to grow a pair and stand up. If you lose you lose but fight DAMN IT!

It is ironic that Alito’s testimony ended just before the MLK holiday. Civil Rights should have been the key question. Alito’s writings don’t seem to support civil rights at all. No affirmative action. No women’s rights. None.

Also, the 2 mining tradegies happened to come during this Alito time. Alito has sided with business against the little every time that he could.

NO. NO. NO!! Alito is replacing Sandra Day O’Conner. A moderate. We must fight against this extremely conservative appointment.

Clinton consulted with Congress and go a nominee with Republicans and Democrats could live with. Bush listened but didn’t hear the Democrats. He didn’t. He chose someone to please his base.

Fight. Dem’s fight.

Senate judiciary committee voted to approve Alito. Now the vote goes to the full Senate. The vote was on party lines. There were no surprises. Interesting a poll was done by CNN/USA Today/Gallup which revealed only 30 percent of Americans opposed Alito. The poll didn’t ask if those Americans were following the hearing closely.

Alito will get confirmed but he is clearly out there with Scalea and Thomas. I think that the rules for the judiciary hearing should be changed. We should know more or scratch the hearings, period.
