My eyes welled up during that and it was hard to hear it. Poor Randi. |
This whole thing makes me want to cry.
The Repugs basically "filibustered" Miers because she wasn't conservative enough. But now most of the Dems don't have the balls to filibuster Alito. And some are even voting for him. They've blown every opportunity to do the right thing and fight, on every single issue.
I have no hope left for this country.
