Dems coming out strong against Alito
After finding out about a new anti-choice memo, Democrats are “taking a firmer stance” against Alito’s nomination, reports The New York Times.
"Certainly the chance of a filibuster is greater today than it was the day Alito was nominated because of so many new revelations," Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York and a member of the Judiciary Committee, said Thursday.
Mr. Schumer also sent Judge Alito a letter asking him to explain why his participation in the Supreme Court case while working in the Justice Department was not disclosed in his responses to a Senate questionnaire.
Mr. Schumer and other Democrats say a judgment on whether the emerging record on Judge Alito is sufficient to provoke a filibuster will hinge on his performance during confirmation hearings scheduled to start early next month.
Well thank goodness. The last thing women need is yet another anti-choice Justice.

The paper trail speaks for itself. Do we really need a "performance", an "acting job", to not see what this man is all about? Does anyone believe that Dumbya would actually nominate a moderate or{God forbid!} a pro-choice liberal? Dumbya dances to the far-right strings attached to his limpid limbs. Anyone he nominates represents our worst nightmare, and our Democrat representatives had best be aware of this, and exibit some "stones" in opposing his choices. I am getting tired of seeing the Democratic Party as Republican Lite. Intensified skeptism? How about some good old outrage, and demanding the interests of their constituents be addressed, i.e., you and me?
Judging by the latest public opinion polls, people who oppose the "President" in office right now, and his lame policies, represent the large majority. OUR representatives had best take notice of this, and start legislating accordingly.

America, the fear of the free and the home of the beaten.
