Filibuster Alito
I am at a loss to understand the apathy among democrats and the public in general regarding the consequences of Alito's confirmation.
And I don't understand the "what will be will be" reluctant acceptance of this situation, including Tim Grieve's "I'll believe it when I see it" assessment on a filibuster. (Though I'm not saying he's not right).
A man (and a party) who/which has a questionable legitimacy in office, has admittedly subverted, ignored or just plain broken the laws of this country is about to gain a 30-year monopoly on the future of this county. We can't afford to mortgage our majority beliefs, liberties and future on the limited ideology of this power-mad caball.
Please, please, please demand a filibuster. Of all the times to let it pass, this isn't it.
And please contact your senators and representatives NOW. We can't afford to shrug our shoulders and accept Alito as an inevitability.
