You know what I find strange in the Alito confirmation? Why isn't the opposition party in Washington...Oh, I don't know...opposing a slam dunk pro-tyranny sycophant?
It sound like the Democratic Leadership Council has once again laid on their backs, while the Republicans stick it to the American people.
What in the world could the GOP offer the DLC that is worth more than the soul of America? I really want to know, what is so important to the DLC?
In an email send to all subscribers of the DLC newsletter, they spent a great deal of effort to coddle activists and PAC groups by saying that Alito is clearly a radical "in the mold of conservative judicial activists Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas (and perhaps Chief Justice Roberts, if his alignment with Scalia and Thomas on the landmark decision on Oregon's assisted-suicide statute is any indication).
And Samuel Alito appears to fill the bill."
However, the DLC refuses to filibuster Alito even though he represents the worst characteristics of America, the soul-mate of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.
In the DLC newsletter they say:
"But we stress this last point: in the Senate debate on this confirmation, Democrats should focus on Alito's judicial philosophy, and discard the personal attacks that figure so prominently in some of the interest-group campaigning against his confirmation. Such attacks at best distract from the principled case against Alito; at worst, they undermine it."
Fine DLC! Fine, if you don't want the American people to attack the "character" of a would-be judge for highest court in the land, because he deserves it, then I say the DLC should get the business end of that stick.
You hear that the so-called Democratic Leadership Council, we're tired of your Republican-lite BS, and we're coming after you. The natives are angry and they're a hankering for some long pig.
