Bottom Line : If the Dems cant unite against Scalito....

[channa18]

this dangerous knucledragging reactionary pig , then there is nothing they wont roll over on.

And what use are them then ?? Who needs them ??

Afaic, this is the seminal moment for the dems. The lines are clear and its time for some spine. They must filibuster to the wall against this neanderthal.

Hell hath no fury like a dem scorned. I curse Ben "MY EXCUSE IS I'M FROM NEBRASKA" Nelson....and any other dem who spinelessly cave.

Amazingly, I may end up having more respect for Chafee , Collins and Snow than some weasel dems.

1. if they do unite

it will be forgotten soon, and they'll get called cowards again.

2. I couldn't agree more.

If Alito isn't worth a filibuster, I don't know what would be.

6. Very true.

In my estimation, if they don't unite against this one, they are handing the hangman a noose concerning the future of the party. Let's see what they do.
